A potential class action lawsuit against lingerie and booty-short emporium, Victoria’s Secret, contends that some of their bras are made with formaldehyde — the fame ingredient used in making dissection-ready fetal pigs extra delicious — which causes wearers to develop rashes, scarring and other such accessories to match your velour “Pink” pajama bottoms:
“I had the welts … very red, hot to the touch, extremely inflamed, blistery. It itched profusely,” said Roberta Ritter, who describes herself as a longtime Victoria’s Secret shopper. “I couldn’t sleep, waking up itching.
“I was just utterly sick,” she added.
Really? Because that probably sounds utterly hot to this one fetishist out in South Dakota who will totally pay you for video footage. The bras in question are the company’s “Angels Secret Embrace” and “Very Sexy Extreme Me Push-Up” bras. For their part, the people at VS say the allegations are BS:
“We are sorry that a small number of people have had an issue and we want to help them determine the cause. Customer safety and satisfaction are always our primary concerns and we take seriously any issues our customers may have with our products.”
All our bras come from the little girls’ department at Kmart, so this is the first time we hear of any of this. Have any of you experienced such unpleasantness from Victoria’s Secret’s bras?

Yes, horrifyingly enough. I just assumed though, since I’m allergic to a lot of stuff, that it was an allergic reaction and not the bra. Hmm…
