Victoria's Secret: Formaldehyde in Bras?

The secret is out for one of the world's most recognizable lingerie brands, according to a potential class action lawsuit in which consumers claim they've experienced very uncomfortable symptoms, like rashes, hives and permanent scarring from Victoria's Secret bras.



"I had the welts ... very red, hot to the touch, extremely inflamed, blistery. It itched profusely," said Roberta Ritter, who describes herself as a longtime Victoria's Secret shopper. "I couldn't sleep, waking up itching.

"I was just utterly sick," she added.

Ritter, 37, filed a lawsuit against the company May 14 in relation to the Angels Secret Embrace and Very Sexy Extreme Me Push-Up bras she said she purchased.

But the Ohio resident isn't alone in her complaint. Her lawyers said dozens of other women have contacted them with similar claims involving a number of the intimate brand's collections. Many seek to be a part of the potential class action lawsuit.

I have a couple VS bras, and I think they're very comfortable. I guess I'm lucky I didn't need a Very Sexy Extreme Me Push-Up. I'm interested in seeing how this one turns out.

I need to go bra shopping as well, but we don't have VS here. That seems so odd. Why would formaldehyde be anywhere near bras?

Damn... I was meaning to go bra shopping too. Oh well. :/

Wow...I guess I'll hold off of that bra shopping I've been meaning to do. :P
