Hurt, no treatment Made Aug 18, 2012, sent to the company Sep 4, 2012, published by CPSC Sep 25, 2012
The product, in the report: Product is a leather lounge chair called Eaze Lounge Chair with Ottoman and is supposed to be a Chinese replica of the iconic Eames Recliner Chair.
The leather chair was set up in my home and shortly thereafter I noticed a chemical smell and I became nauseous and began experiencing a bad headache. I left the apartment for a while and I felt better. Later I came back and within an hour of being near the chair I was having the same symptoms along with my eyes starting to itch. I researched the situation on google and came up with many people complaining about an anti-fungal treatment called DMF that is often on chinese leather and is dangerous to be around.
On a separate day I attempted to drive the chair back but they were closed. During my drive I again experienced the same reactions from the previous day within 30 minutes of exposure.
I found the product online but opted for a local pickup since their office/warehouse was only 25 minutes away. The product was shown to me in the back warehouse near an open garage door. When I arrived home I started to notice the smell coming from my trunk. I moved it into my apartment and the smell is toxic.
I have tried to work with [REDACTED] the owner but she is unwilling to even look into the possibility of there being an issue including meeting with me at her shop to allow her to smell it in person.
At first I thought maybe I had been scammed into buying a chair that is fake leather because of the smell so I was concerned about that but later the main issue became the toxic smell. I am unable to keep the chair in the house
