Catalogue retailer Argos has issued a product recall on a number of furniture products over fabric fire risk concerns.
The retailer has issued the recall on Tammy sofas, chairs, footstools and sofa beds in charcoal, mink and teal fabrics after discovering an “important fire safety issue”.
A statement said: “Argos takes the safety of its customers extremely seriously. As a result, we are writing to inform you of an important fire safety issue, discovered during routine testing, in relation to the fabric used on Tammy sofa/footstools. This only affects items sold on or after 21/06/2022.
“A number of products have failed to meet the required fire safety standards and if exposed to a naked flame, the cover fabric could catch fire. Other upholstery materials used to make this product (such as foam and fibre) are unaffected by this issue and comply with the fire safety standards. Argos would like to apologise for any inconvenience this will cause.”
