Hurt, care not known Made Nov 19, 2013, sent to the company Jan 8, 2014, published by CPSC Jan 31, 2014
The product, in the report: Living Room Chair (velvet)
Consumer reported that the chair she purchased from the retailer was off-gassing chemicals that made her ill. These health symptoms included rashes, respiratory, headaches, nausea etc. She discovered the odor when she uncovered it about a month ago. She stated that the odor was so overwhelming it permeated the entire house and carpet.
The chair was removed and placed outside and she had her entire home cleaned. Since then she is not having any health symptoms.
(10/2013) The retailer was contacted and a technician sent out 11/16/13, he informed her that he did not smell any odor. She is concerned that the chemicals in this chair poses a health hazard and should be reported.
UPDATE FROM CONSUMER: We placed chair outdoors for several weeks before Macy’s inspector appointment. Once outside the home, I no longer suffered a stuffed up nose, cough and my face/around nose and mouth/ healed from blister type sores after about 6 weeks. Still have a couple of marks on my face from the outbreak.
Since it is not a “nasty smell” hard to describe smell (more like sweet with slight pepper to me). I believe it is easy for the inspector to not acknowledge it or he is used to it, it does not register with him. [REDACTED] I believe most people used to the smell in dept stores and not aware it is chemical and dangerous to our health since stores smell this way and so do new cars. Macy’s Inspector told me nothing wrong and they refused to refund my $700. I took back PJs to Macy’s when I noticed the smell. [REDACTED]
