Victoria’s Secret Bras Cause Rashes & Hives - Could Result in Class Action Lawsuit

Several women nationwide have come forward claiming Victoria's Secret bras are causing severe bumps, hives, and rashes under their breasts. Many of these women have been loyal Victoria’s Secret customers for 20+ years. Victoria’s Secret is well known to provide high quality women’s lingerie products, including bras, at a premium price.

This potential class action lawsuit against Victoria’s Secret was prompted after a woman’s lawyer in Ohio had her recently purchased Victoria’s Secret bras tested scientifically in a laboratory, which revealed positive traces of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a critical ingredient in the production of hundreds of items that improve everyday life. However, little or no formaldehyde should be present in the final product.

In a statement sent to ABC News, Victoria’s Secret said it is investigating all of the complaints but will continue to stand behind its products as not containing formaldehyde in any of its bras or other undergarments.

The purpose of any class action lawsuit is to give the common man or woman the ability to take on the largest corporate or private entities, who can obivously afford the very best legal services, and have a chance of redressing the wrong done by these entities. It is important to remember that even though the actual damage or cost to the individual class member may be small, the illicit gain to the corporate entity can be huge if done to hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of class members.

The Humphreys & Peterson Law Firm in Texas is dedicated in protecting the rights of all consumers from manufacturers who sell defective products. If you believe that you may have purchased a defective Victoria’s Secret bra which has caused you an injury, it is important that you immediately contact a highly qualified attorney to protect your legal options.
