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.”

The Breast Cancer Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.

It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on “Donating A Mammogram” for free (click the pink window in the middle).

This doesn’t cost you anything. The Breast Cancer Site’s corporate spronsors/ advertisers uses the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising.

If you love breasts please pass this along to people you know.

If you aren’t aware all products with SPF have an expiration date of a year. I tend to buy a bottle at the beginning of the summer and toss it out the following summer.

If you feel like tossing your sunscreen is a waste try this out. You can make your own sheer tinted moisturizer with your, almost expired sunscreen and “not-quite-your-shade” liquid foundation. Yes, you can use up the foundation (that is not quite your shade anymore since) you bought during the summer, when you were super tanned.
