Recent media reports have highlighted serious injuries suffered by customers who bought Pia and Bari sofas from the retailers Argos, World of Leather and Walmsley's Furnishing. The sofas are manufactured by Linkwise. A number of both Argos and Walmsley's Furnishings customers have experienced skin allergies, rashes and burns as a result of a reaction to possible chemicals applied to the surface of the sofas, resulting in painful blisters and sores, in some cases requiring medical attention and hospital treatment.
Argos has now written to its customers and has withdrawn all of the Pia and Bari range sofas from sale, recalling those that had previously been sold. Investigations are now underway to determine how the sofas came to be coated in alleged dangerous chemicals.
