  1. No one hurt

    Made Jan 22, 2013, sent to the company Feb 8, 2013, published by CPSC Feb 25, 2013

    The product, in the report: Spectra Home Everest Leather Power Motion Sofa. 86” Length x 41” Width x 40” Height. Purchased from Costco Item #190896. Dark brown color. Top-grain leather.

    I purchased a leather sofa with a power recliner on each end from Costco. After less than a year, one of the wires in the back got pinched under the sofa and there was a big spark and smoke started coming out so we immediately unplugged the sofa. The wires in the back look frayed and sizzled. We’re too scared to plug it back in because the wires look exposed. One of the sofa ends is stuck in the reclined position and we can’t move it back!

    I called Costco but they said I had to call the manufacturer, which is a company called Spectra. I tried to get a hold of them to see if they could replace the sofa or fix the wires for us. Every number I tried was disconnected. After much Googling, I finally got a working number and when I called, it was the ex-CEO’s HOME NUMBER!!! He told me he didn’t work there anymore and he gave me the name and number to someone else. I’ve called and left messages and no one has called me back. I can’t get a hold of a single live person.

    In the meantime, I’ve called several electricians in my local area and no one is willing to come out and look at this sofa. I think the design of this sofa was very poor because the wires in the back are just hanging on the ground and anytime the sofa gets moved or pushed, it can easily move so that the wires shift underneath the sofa and then get crushed with the weight of the sofa.
