Toxic sofas

We have experience in helping those injured by toxic sofas and recently settled one of the first cases of this kind in the UK. Our team has the knowledge and experience to ensure a sympathetic and practical approach to these often complex claims.

Purchasers and users of goods are protected by:

  • a rule that essentially confirms that manufacturers owe a duty to take reasonable care in the manufacture of their products
  • the Consumer Protection Act 1987 which confirms that a product will be defective if its safety is not such as persons generally are entitled to expect.

Many people have been injured by faulty leather sofas imported from China packed with anti-mould sachets of dimethyl fumarate to stop them being damaged by humid conditions during storage. Dimethyl fumarate is a toxic, fine white powder which can be harmful even in small amounts. The powder in these circumstances cause chemical burns, blisters and sores as examples.

Our team is here to help you. We are totally independent and guarantee that you will receive 100% of your compensation.
