New Jersey Product Liability Lawyers: La-Z-Boy “Leather” Furniture Defects
Thousands of consumers have recently been making complaints concerning the sub-par durability of La-Z-Boy leather furniture. According to consumers, leather surfaces are quickly becoming worn, flaking and peeling after normal use, and La-Z-Boy has not adequately addressed the problem. La-Z-Boy customers who spent thousands of dollars on new leather furniture and received defective, poor quality products instead are now seeking justice for consumer fraud.
A common complaint from angry consumers is that La-Z-Boy led its customers to believe its bonded leather upholstery was actually leather and was comparable in quality to genuine leather furniture. Bonded leather or reconstituted leather is really a synthetic material which contains varying amounts of leather fibers. Bonded leather and genuine leather may initially have a similar appearance and texture. Bonded leather can easily be mistaken for the real thing; however, it is not nearly as durable as true leather. Also, repairing bonded leather is difficult, expensive and provides only a temporary solution.
In addition to La-Z-Boy, consumers allege that other furniture companies, including Bassett Furniture Direct, Jennifer Convertibles and Kane’s Furniture, have duped unsuspecting customers into unwittingly purchasing imitation leather furniture.
Victims of consumer fraud have the right to take legal action against a liable manufacturer or retailer. If you have been a victim of false advertising or if you purchased a product which was then found to be inherently defective, you may have grounds to file a claim for compensation under product liability and consumer fraud laws.
