"Rash, you say?!!!"

Lawyers are seeking class-action status for a suit filed by an Ohio woman claiming many women have had allergic reactions to bras sold at Victoria's Secret.
Roberta Ritter said that her skin blistered and became inflamed and itchy after she wore Angels Secret Embrace and Very Sexy Extreme Me Push-Up bras purchased at the lingerie retailer, ABC News reported. Her lawyers say they have received similar complaints from other women, including some who want to join the lawsuit.
"I was floored," Ritter said. "I thought, 'I have to come out with this. The can of worms has to be opened because it's not just me, it's other people as well.'"
The company acknowledged getting customer complaints and said it is investigating the problem. Ritter's lawyers say that lab tests found formaldehyde, but the company said that the preservative is not used in making its underwear.
A ruling on the lawsuit's status is not expected for six months.
There are some good threads today.
That's some *secret*.
Tissue fixative and embalming agent
Preserving those prefect breasts.
I know, especially when you consider that others may have tried it on before purchasing it... I wash almost everything except outerwear before wearing it, and if I’m running low on clean clothes and don’t have time to wash it, I’ll wear something else underneath it.
I can’t imagine why any lawyer would want to be involved in this case,but,then again,lawyers are a bunch of boobs.
Don’t see any rash, but I am willing to see if I can feel one. Aw heck, I’d feel them both just to be fair.
Victoria: “Shhhhh. That’s the secret.”
It’s fashion. They’ll suffer to be fashionable.
Which I think goes a long way to explain Obama’s victory.
If it is like poison ivy, the rash is contagious.

Probably made in China. The rubber or latex to push em up probably soaked with mercury or melamine or something toxic.
Poison ivy isn’t contagious.
The oil from the plants *can* rub off clothes and skin. However, after the oil combines with the proteins in the skin, it can no longer rub off. This takes about 4 hours. Cloth, leather, your pet’s fur may contain the active oils for years, however, until removed mechanically or with hot water and soap.
This will help.....let me show you.....
How much can I get from Fruit of the Loom for my jock itch?
You’re bad, Slim.
heheheh
I volunteer to buy her a few cheeseburgers. Boyish hips and visible ribs are not a turn on.
And before some of you get bent out of shape, there is a difference between curvy and fat.
“Ritter’s lawyers say that lab tests found formaldehyde
Not only did she get a rash, but morticians kept hitting on her in bars”
Now THAT’S funny!
Thanks, Slim.
Welcome to FR!
I wear socks and underwear right out of the bag.
Packing a bag of new socks on a trip will make you the envy of all who have to put on a raggedy sock.
