Is the couch defective? Are other couches of similar construction? What is the defect? Where you ever aware of this defect? Where you advised of any recalls? Is the company still in business? Is the store where you purchased the couch still in business? Did you have any problems with the couch before the accident? Are you aware of any similar incidents regarding your friends or relatives?

You may call me to discuss your options. You have to provide photographs in advance.
