PARIS - FIRST tainted milk, now toxic chairs from China. Customers in France who bought Chinese-made recliners are complaining of stinging allergic rashes and infections. One customer, Ms Caroline Morin, said on Friday she was stunned to learn the chair she bought in December appears to have caused the skin problems she says she suffered for months. The French distributor, Conforama, warned clients in July that some of the chairs and sofas presented an allergy risk 'in rare cases.' It has withdrawn them from sale and now says the health problems were linked to an anti-fungal chemical in the chairs. The affair gained attention this week following French media reports exposing problems suffered by people who bought the chairs. One was Ms Dolores Ennrich, who says that because of long-term illness she spent a lot of time sitting in the recliner she purchased in March 2007. She says she suffered painful eczema and skin infections on her left thigh, back and left arm that put her in a hospital for 12 days and led doctors to prescribe repeated courses of antibiotics. 'It went away, it came back, it went away. That went on for more than a year,' she told wires agencies. 'It is very painful.' Conforama says it has severed its commercial ties with the Chinese supplier, Linkwise, and told its other suppliers to no longer use the chemical, dimethyl fumarate, to prevent mold. Linkwise is based in the manufacturing hub of Dongguan in southern China. A man who answered the phone at the company said on Friday that it is working with the Chinese government's quality inspection watchdog to investigate the problem. He would not give details, his name or title. Floods of cheap Chinese products on world markets have also been accompanied in recent years by scares over poor quality, particularly involving food. The latest Chinese product crisis involves baby formula made from milk powder tainted with the industrial chemical melamine. It has been blamed for the deaths of four babies and illnesses in 6,200 others in China. Previous scandals involved contaminated seafood, toothpaste and a pet food ingredient, also tainted with melamine, blamed for the deaths of dogs and cats in the United States. This milk powder scandal is really nothing new. It happened in 2004 but it wasn't taken seriously maybe it because that time less casualities?? 'Chinese, it's really dangerous. There's the chairs. The milk ....' said Ms Ennrich. 'We pay less but there are consequences.' China will continue to be world manufacturer so we hv to be a smart consumer. Alot of manufacturing coy are moving their plants to PRC. Normally, just one sachet of the anti-mould chemical is meant to be inserted into the chairs, but some contained as many as 10, said a Conforama spokesman, Stephanie Mathieu. She said the Chinese firm told Conforama that 'as it was the monsoon season they decided that they needed to put more sachets in.' Conforama said it sold 38,000 of the Linkwise chairs and that customers have so far returned 800 of them. Le Parisien newspaper, which has covered the case extensively this week, said the French Finance Ministry's market regulator, which polices consumer safety, is investigating to check that everything possible was done to protect clients. Ms Morin said she didn't make the connection between her skin problems and her recliner until she got a letter from Conforama in July. 'The chair has been out of my house for a month, and I feel a bit better, but I still have problems,' she said. A rash of cases have cropped up in Britain, too. British attorney Christian Shotton said his law firm, Russell, Jones & Walker, is representing 1,300 people who bought Linkwise recliners and sofas from British retailers and who are suing for compensation. He said there have been other cases in Sweden and Finland. 'Some of the children, some of the babies, are covered head to toe, in burns, rashes and infections,' Mr Shotton said. 'Some of the people sit on the sofa for 15 minutes and it looks like they have been out in the sun all day.' -- AP

Fellow forumers, My upstair neighbour rent out the whole unit to some Filipinos (family and singles). It has been few months. Ever since then, I've been traumatized by the noise from dragging of chairs and furniture, slamming of doors as early as 5am and as late as 12am. Even occasionally in the middle of the night I was rudely awakened by the slamming of doors. The unit is not directly above me but next door to my above unit cos my above unit is vacant. before it was vacant, I talked to the owner but it was not her cos she live alone and now she have moved out but the noise still persist and I know it's her next door neighbour. So I approached her neighbour. I talk to the Filipino man. He did said sorry and it was his little kid that push and pull the chairs and furniture. I mean, can't he teach his little children? Ever since that, things didn't change. I was rudely awaken in the middle of the night and even can't sleep late on weekend cos the dragging of furniture noise will begin about 7am. I wrote to town council and HDB. They responded and talked to them. Thing turns out "a bit" better. But that was 2 months ago, now the noises are coming back again I do not know the owner of the flat personally. Where can I get the contact of the actual flat owner so I can talk to him/her and ask him/her to warn his/her tenants?

Does anyone know where to buy those training chairs with a folding/swivel table attached to it? I can't seem to locate anyone who sells it here and have ready stocks.

As per heading....
