DMF in leather goods blamed for injuries

Following extensive publicity over the use of Dimethyl Fumerate (DMF) in Chinese leather furniture, increasing numbers of leather products produced wholly, or part, in China are being blamed for injuries across Europe, according to Russell Jones and Walker. Items including riding helmets, women’s leather footwear, children’s footwear and even soft toys have all been identified as containing the dangerous fungicide, though none are believed to be available in the UK.
