The products, which originated from China, are described as 2-and 3-seater chenille slider sofas with models including Natural Chenille and Navy Chenille.
A statement said: “The product presents a risk of fire as there is a faulty button on the recliner mechanism. This means there is a risk of the circuit board overheating and malfunctioning, causing the recliner to stop working.
“This product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. The product has been withdrawn from the market and is subject to a modification programme.
“John Lewis have contacted affected customers and advised that they unplug the product and stop using the recline/charging functions. Affected customers should contact the John Lewis & Partners Aftersales Team to arrange a visit and repair via 03456 049 049.”
A John Lewis spokesperson commented: “We want all customers to get the quality and service they expect from John Lewis.
“While we’ve received no customer complaints about this sofa or reports of this issue causing a fire, we issued this notice as a precautionary measure after finding that one of the control buttons could be prone to overheating.
“Our tests also found that all safety measures worked as designed; the transformer immediately cut the power to the faulty button, preventing any further issue.
“We immediately contacted customers and have already had all the buttons replaced by a technician as a precaution.”
Furthermore, John Lewis added that implicated sofas were sold between 05/08/2025 and 30/10/2025, with the issue now fully resolved, and the product now on sale being safe and compliant.
