In the United States, it is common to hear that people present lawsuit against companies. The lawsuit are for different reasons. In this case the famous lingerie company Victoria's Secret is facing a new lawsuit. The lawsuit is based in the possibility of risk health problems involving the famous company. Roberta Ritter, a Victoria's Secrete costumer presented this lawsuit against the company. This woman said that every time she wore a Victoria Secret bra got burn skin underneath her breast.
Roberta Ritter filed the lawsuit against the company after she bought from the company two bras named the Angeles Secret Embrace Bra and the Very Sexy Extreme Push-Up Bra which caused her a strange effect on her skin. Roberta Ritter said that she had several symptoms such as itches, inflammation, red skin, and others. Roberta Ritter's lawyer said that Ritter is not the only woman who presented these symptoms there are more than ten women affected for this problem, and they possibly will join a potential action lawsuit against the company. The Ritter's lawyer was very astute and he sent to a lab several Victoria's Secret bras, and the bras he sent to a lab tasted positive for formaldehyde.
Roberta Ritter's doctor said that this chemical could have caused the allergic reaction on Ritter's skin. According to the web-page http://www.checnet.org/, formaldehyde is a chemical having a strong smelling, volatile organic compound (VOC) and common indoor air pollutant. Formaldehyde is used to make products of wood, and plastics and chemicals. The chemical formaldehyde is ranked as Red for Danger! However the company responded that they have high control of quality in their products, and they do not used formaldehyde in the elaboration of lingerie. A judge will decided next year if the lawsuit is possible to bring an action.
