Bay Area flight attendant sues Victoria's Secret, says Chinese-made bras and panties gave her a rash
Mercury News ^ | 2/2/09 | Gary Klien - Marin IJ

A San Rafael woman has filed a product liability lawsuit against the Victoria's Secret lingerie chain, claiming the Chinese-made bras and underwear she bought at the Terra Linda store caused her a rash and blisters.

Deborah Keck is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for emotional distress, pain and suffering, hospital and medical expenses, permanent scarring and chronic discomfort, according to the lawsuit in Marin Superior Court.

Keck also is claiming wage losses because she needed to visit the doctor about 15 times, keeping her from her job as a flight attendant.

According to the lawsuit, Keck has shopped at Victoria's Secret since 1987. In late January 2007, she bought three bras and several undergarments from the Victoria's Secret store at Northgate mall. The items carried labels that said they were made in China.

After wearing the clothing "in a normal fashion," Keck claims she immediately developed a rash on her chest.

"This rash worsened, quickly developed into blisters, and subsequently spread across her body," the suit alleges.

Keck sued Victoria's Secret and its parent company, Limited Brands Inc., claiming the products contained some kind of chemical, toxin or allergen that caused the outbreak, and that the company knew or should have known about the alleged defect.

I sympathize with the calls for pics, but unfortunately there are no stewardesses left, only flight attendants who were stewardesses 30 years ago.

I never thought to sue. I’m allergic to startch, if I wear something without washing it first I get a rash, so I wash everything. But I’ve seen the light, now I gonna go ahead and wear new clothes, get a rash, and retire.
