http://www.blogcdn.com/www.stylelist.com/blog/media/2008/11/v280865_043.jpgVictoria's Secret has gone and done it again. Their lingerie is so dangerous it should come with a warning label! First a woman was attacked by her thong (http://www.stylelist.com/blog/2008/06/19/victorias-secret-sued-by-woman-for-thong-injury/). Now this time the women's underwear company is being sued because their bras made a woman sick.
Roberta Ritter has made claims that she bought a Very Sexy Extreme Me Push-Up bra and an Angels Secret Embrace bra and they gave her a rash (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,449918,00.html). She complains, "I had the welts ... very red, hot to the touch, extremely inflamed, blistery. It itched profusely. I couldn't sleep, waking up itching."
Is this gorgeous lingerie worth the risk? (http://www.stylelist.com/blog/photos/is-this-gorgeous-lingerie-worth-the-risk/)

Welts and rashes aren't exactly the sexy glam image that Victoria's Secret is trying to sell, but apparently Roberta isn't the only one with that problem. Lab tests revealed that the bras contain formaldehyde, which may cause allergic reactions in some people.
Dozens of other women are now trying to get together a class action lawsuit against the pink giant. Here at Stylelist, we can only shake our heads and wonder -- when will fashion stop being so hazardous to women's health?
