TWO men have been caught trying to sell three-piece suites in Woolston that flout fire safety laws.
A Woolston resident reported the two men who were knocking on doors offering to sell the dodgy sofas from the back of a van.
Police and Trading Standards officers subsequently stopped the men who were unable to prove that the sofas complied with the law on furniture safety and failed to meet flammability requirements when submitted for testing by Trading Standards.
Residents approached by traders selling three-piece suites in similar circumstances should contact Trading Standards on 08454 040506.
