Judge rejects toxic sofa claims
More than 300 people who suffered burns after purchasing a sofa from Land of Leather will not receive compensation following a High Court ruling.
The burns were the result of the fungicide called dimethyl fumarate (DMF) which is used to prevent leather going mouldy whilst stored in humid conditions. DMF was used on Linkwise sofas made in China and purchased by Land of Leather.
Cows cause accident
Back in December 2007 the claimant in this accident was cycling along a minor road with 3 other friends when they were confronted by cattle on the road. The claimant immediately tried to avoid the cattle and in doing so lost control of his bicycle.
When the claimant fell to the ground he broke his left hand thumb which required pin surgery and his hand was in plaster cast for five weeks. The injury left the claimant unable to work for 12 weeks.
Dog owners warned
The police have told dog owners to make sure they keep their pets under control after a man was sentenced following a vicious attack on a guide dog.
A man aged 18 from London was banned for keeping dogs for 10 years. His terrier type dog attacked a guide dog at an underpass station last year. The attack shocked dog lovers across the country and many members of the public were quick to provide information on the dog’s owner after CCTV images were released of him.
