The product, in the report: Beige fabric recliner chair
When sitting in the recliner for any amount of time the consumer noticed that plastic fibers would prick his skin and cause him to itch. The same plastic fibers that were pricking his skin were also detaching from the furniture.
The pricking would occur to any exposed body part that the recliner comes in contact with but not thru clothing.
He developed a rash in the back of his head due to his head coming in contact with the head rest. He went to see a dermatologist (the week of 1/23/2012) and the dermatologist (name not provided) could not diagnose the cause of the rash and prescribed the consumer with cream. The consumer advised the dermatologist of the new furniture that he came in contact with.
On 2/7/2012 the retailer was contacted and a technician came out to the home and indicated that the plastic fibers that are failing from the chair was normal. The consumer was not satisfied with that answer so another technician is scheduled to come out to the home on 2/16/2012.
The consumer concerns are with the plastic fibers and if they are harmful if ingested by his grandchildren.
The recliner was treated for fabric protection in the warehouse prior to him taking delivery of the recliner. He currently still uses the furniture but places a cloth on it prior to sitting on it.
The manufacture was not contacted but the consumer indicated that he would.
