Holy Moly! Victoria’s Secret bras could be bad for your health…

**************

“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”.

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.

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.

The firm representing Ritter has done some investigating of its own. The firm said it purchased the same bra types named in the suit from Victoria’s Secret and sent them to a lab. It said the bras tested positive for the chemical formaldehyde.

But, Victoria’s Secret denied the accusation.

“We have strict quality controls around our products, and we do not use formaldehyde in our bras,” the company said in a statement.

But Ritter’s attorney said somehow the chemical is making its way into the bras.

“It may not be something that they’re specifying to put in their bra, but somehow it’s making its way into the manufacturing process because it was certainly present,” said attorney Dawn Chmielewski of Climaco, Lefkowitz, Peca, Wilcox & Garofoli Co., L.P.A.”
