No, its not about the Olympics but another issue regarding one of their products. The Argos Bari Sofa has been identified as a furniture that can give owners potential health hazards such as allergic reactins that lead to skin diseases by simply sitting on these sofas.

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

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.

So just when everything was getting pretty quiet for the Chinese, they are once again in the news for some product manufacturing offering.

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!
