Could Victoria's Secret be unlocked by recent claims for customers across the country?

Dozens of women say their new bras from the popular lingerie store have given them a rash and even hives! An Ohio woman claims her Victoria's Secret bra was taken to a lab and tested positive for formaldehyde! She's part of a class action lawsuit being filed against the company.

Complaints have been made about the following styles:
Sexy Little Things
Angels Secret Embrace
Very Sexy Extreme Me Push-Up

Victoria's Secret spokesperson Tammy Roberts-Myers sent us this statement about the lawsuit.
"Independent testing of the types of bras at issue confirm that the bras are formaldehyde free. Plaintiff attorneys have also so far refused our repeated requests that they provide us with copies of the tests they claim to have performed. The plaintiff has refused to provide us with any medical records that could shed light on her claims."

Theresa Reed of Pensacola isn't part of the suit but says she has the same problem! She bought the "Sexy Little Things" style bra and broke out in hives from the fabric. "I noticed that ever since I quit wearing this bra, I'm itching from my head down to my knees and broke out in hives severely. I've got it all around my hiney too. Everywhere. It's absolutely atrocious."

Victoria's Secret officials have been in touch with Theresa to talk about her particular case. We'll let you know what happens.

The poor things broke out in a rash, a few years back you would just stop wearing that type of undergarment. Now it’s time to sue, good ole greed. Gotta love the United states of the Offended.

so THIS is victoria’s secret? she should have kept this one. no dont stop wearing the tight underwire stuff, it looks great under that sweater they grew out of about four sizes ago.

The smart thing to do is to quit wearing the tightly wired bras anyway. Do women not know that the wiring in tight bras cuts the lymphoid tubing that runs through your body and blocks the flow of the immune system that cleanses the body? So when the toxins are blocked by a wired bra the only place the toxin has to go is in the breast area and becomes cancer. In Africa and South American where women do not wear bras breast cancer does not exist but in American, France, and England where tight bras are worn breast cancer is at its highest. I think I can tolerate a floppy breast more than one that has been removed because of cancer.  Go back to camisoles or soft cotton bras.

spread from the bra area to all around her hiney? we need to get to the bottom of this

As with other things that are no longer made in America, VS, has taken their line to China. Another reason to stop the imports from China into the population of the rest of the world.
