woolybanana Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Well, certainly in France they are dragging their feet, mainly Conforama I think. No class actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Good idea Ben.Mordants and other chemicals used to treat leather are linked to nervous disorders, asthma, premature death, gynaecological disorders, weakness, dizziness, headaches, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, skin and respiratory infections, cancer and other serious illnesses. Plus you can get some much nastier things like anthrax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Animal Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 It's not only leather sofas, but also armchairs, anything with too many of those sachets inside. There have been a lot of cases in France.http://www.lavoixdunord.fr/actualite/Dossiers/Sante/2008/10/31/article_affaire-des-fauteuils-de-plus-en-plus-de-victimes.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
