Hazardous to Your Health???

Tuesday, November 11, 2008


...so reports multiple media outlets, including ABC News who has noted an outbreak of "rashes, hives, and permanent scarring" from Victoria's Secret bras. This outbreak has allegedly been caused by a presence of formaldehyde in these bras. Some of the affected bra-wearers may potentially respond with a class action lawsuit against Victoria's Secret.

Victoria's Secret spokespeople, for their part, have denied the use of formaldehyde in any of their products. Additionally they claim to "have strict quality control around our products," and have, thus far, refused to pull the bras in question from their shelves. These bras include the Angels Secret Embrace and the Very Sexy Extreme Push Up bras.

Additionally, there is no mention of this on the Victoria's Secret website, and no notice has been sent to card holders as of 10:30AM eastern time. A look at their website this morning has shown a recall notice for a stuffed holiday bear which comes with a zipper "posing a choking hazard to small children," but no mention of the bras in question, at this time.
