Farmer,

  Get rid of that recliner.  Burn it up.  The Chinese get rid of their 
hazardous materials a little at a time by putting it in all sorts of 
stuff.  Stuffed toys, furniture, food, and on and on.  You are being 
poisoned.  I opened a can if smoked oysters last night. 
Whew......smelled worse than anything I ever poured in the hopper of my 
spray plane.  Looked at the label and sure enough, Chinese.  Not being 
eaten in this house and not put anywhere the animals can get to it either.
