Formaldehyde has been found in some of Victoria’s Secrets most popular bra styles. This chemical is used in the embalming process, once a person has died, it is also found in plastics and glue. Formaldehyde has the potential to be toxic. There is a potential class action law suit against the lingerie company.

The formaldehyde was discovered by a customer of Victoria’s Secret after she had a reaction to wearing one of their bras.

“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. Ritter, 37, filed a lawsuit against the company May 14 in relation to the Angels Secret Embrace and Very Sexy Extreme Me Push-Up bras she said she purchased. Her lawyers said dozens of other women have contacted them with similar claims involving a number of the intimate brand’s collections. Many seek to be a part of the potential class action lawsuit.

A Victoria’s Secret spokesperson admitted the company had received direct complaints from customers, but added the bras remain on store shelves.
