Victoria’s Secret has already been sued by one woman over a claim that their bras are defective. They now potentially face a class action suit for the same claim.
The class action suit alleges that Victoria’s Secret’s Angels Secret Embrace and Very Sexy Extreme Push-Up bras are causing rashes, hives, and permanent scarring in consumers.
Roberta Ritter, a longtime Victoria’s Secret customer, filed a defective product lawsuit against the company last May. She claims that their bras have given her blistery welts that keep her up itching all night.
Her lawyers indicated that many other women have been calling them to discuss similar claims regarding Victoria’s Secret’s bras. This has spurred the potential class action lawsuit that is currently being organized against the company.
When Ritter’s lawyers sent several of these bras to a lab for analysis, they discovered that they tested positive for formaldehyde. Ritter’s doctor diagnosed her with an allergic reaction that potentially could result from exposure to formaldehyde, providing further support for this claim.
Victoria’s Secret vehemently denies the accusation, and has not removed the products from the market.
A judge will rule this May on whether or not to allow the class action lawsuit against Victoria’s Secret. If you have suffered any injuries from one of these bras, you should consult an experienced personal injury lawyer to find out if you qualify to be part of this class action lawsuit.
