Watchdog article on Sofas causing skin problems
 

The programme showed a sofa having the bottom hessian stuff removed to
expose a sachet of the harmful stuff.

In view of this I was wondering about checking a couple of leather settees
that my daughter has. Does anyone know if removing the sachet of fungicide
is sufficient? She isn't experiencing a problem - but I am thinking better
safe than sorry.

Is it worth doing?

If you've experienced skin problems following the purchase of a
leather sofa, with labels indicating that it has been made by
Linkwise, Eurosofa or any other manufacturer, you may wish to
telephone the special helpline number - 0800 916 9070 - and give the
details. The helpline is coordinated by the companies involved with
the class action and can help provide contact details for
manufacturers and assess potential claims.

Dunno!

Seems to me there is the problem of knowing if you have found all the
sachets.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

Meant also to say, what do you then do with the sachet(s) of extremely
noxious stuff?
