RJW leads Sofa Rash Group Litigation Order
The cause of the skin rashes has now been confirmed as the chemical Dimethyl Fumarate, a fungicide contained in a sachet inside the sofas, inserted to prevent mould during shipping. Crystals contained in these sachets transform into toxic gas, particularly when exposed to heat. This can then pass through clothes, causing the sofa rash.
A court ruling in June ensured that potentially thousands of sofa rash claimants will have their claims dealt with under a defective product Group Litigation Order, the largest ever recorded in England and Wales. RJW are leading this action. For more details:
