North West Personal Injury Claims Solicitor Warns of Sofa Danger

A North West personal injury claims solicitor is urging people to be aware of a batch of problem leather sofas from Argos, some of which have been causing injury to consumers after allegedly being contaminated with chemicals applied to their surface.

Argos recently issued a recall notice about certain batches of the Pia and Bari range of furniture on sale in its stores, following complaints from customers of an allergic skin reaction causing blistering, burns, rashes and itching. The sofa suites have been highlighted on the BBC Watchdog programme and possible causes of the irritation could be a fungicide inside the product to help prevent mould and decay.

James Maxey, managing partner at Express Solicitors in Northenden, Manchester said: “We are already fielding calls from angry customers who wish to claim personal injury compensation for the discomfort they’ve been through.

“We are urging people to be aware of the dangers as they might not have a reaction straight away. Anybody who does have a reaction should, if possible, take photographic evidence to back their case.

“A personal injury claims specialist could even pursue a claim for you if you have been to visit somebody and been affected by their sofa.

“Obviously the compensation claim will be dependent on the severity of the symptoms, which reportedly vary from mild to very painful and severe.

“Argos has recalled the sofas from the affected batches but this has come too late for some consumers, who have been forced to seek medical attention. The company has offered to replace any affected sofas but anyone seeking personal injury compensation will require specialist legal advice.”
