Sofa dermatitis claim - The Sun - Poisoned Settee Did This To Baby

Allergic reactions caused by leather sofas

The Sun, reported on 28 May that baby boy Archie Lloyd-Bennett had suffered allergic reactions to leather furniture purchased from Land of Leather and also that Paula Brooks had suffered allergies leading to a severe rash, blisters and blood poisoning from a leather corner unit purchased from Argos.

Archie Lloyd-Bennett's case was also covered on the BBC Breakfast programme as well as ITV News at Ten.

Boyes Turner advising on skin allergy sofa claims

BOYES TURNER are acting for a significant number of people who have developed skin allergies after purchasing leather furniture from a range of furniture retailers including Argos, Land of Leather, SCS, DFS and Harveys.

Boyes Turner has also been closely involved in the disclosure of scientific evidence which has identified di –methyl fumarate (DMF) which was used on the furniture as an anti moulding agent as the causative agent.

A Group Litigation Order is likely to be made within the next few weeks which will allow all the product liability claims for compensation to proceed through the court.

We urge anyone who has suffered skin irritation after purchasing leather or leather effect furniture from any retail outlet to contact BOYES TURNER on 0800 884 0719 or e mail us on advice@claims-personalinjury.com to discuss your personal injury claim.
