No, its not about the Olympics but another issue regarding one of their products.

Apparently all these were traced to the manufacturing state of these sofas.

Argos Bari Sofa

Hospitals across northern Europe have treated thousands of patients with symptoms which appeared to range from skin cancer and chemical burns to severe eczema.

A study in Sweden has concluded that the skin conditions were a reaction to the gas created during the sublimation of a chemical called dimethyl fumarate. Sublimation is the conversion of a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid state.

The next time you sit on your sofa, check out the brand and its point of origin. Don’t wait for something like this to happen!
