Class action lawsuit - victoria secret bras

I also would like information on this class action lawsuit. I am always itchy, I have contributed it dry skin.  I have also had sores that have left me with scars.  Never thought and my Dr. never mentioned it could be my bra.  I am faithful to my VS body by Victoria!

This is such a disapointment, I just found this site and am amazed to find out how many of you are out there when I thought I was alone.  Something has to be done about this even if those attorneys are no longer interested. The media needs to hear these stories so that other women can be spared and so those who are still suffering and wondering why can finally figure it out. (I've had an open blistering sore/flaking on one nipple for the last 2.5 years. Changing detergents and lotions didn't help neither did any cortisones. I was tested for breast cancer and biopsied which left a scar. I have been told it was just "eczema" and given steriod creams which have caused more harm than good. I have drastically altered my diet assuming that I must have food allergies and the problem has still persisted). I've had this problem since shortly after I began wearing the IPEX which is the only bra I've worn this whole time. I am appalled at these bra companies for their gross negligence. What if we work on a collective letter to be signed by all of us and sent to different media outlets? Does anyone want to get on board with this approach to gain public awareness?

Sad News.

The law firm (Climaco) has decided NOT to proceed with litigation against VS.  They claim they cannot proceed as they do not have the funds to research further or to find an "expert".  This is a tremendous dissapointment for all of us.

I started wearing VS bras in December of 2006. I received 2 as a gift. By the second week in january I started to develop a couple of darker skin pigminted welts in my bra line. I now own 5 VS bras and the rash is on my entire back right were my bra lays. I have been trying to figure out what kind of rash I have had since 2007. I never thought it would be a Victoria Secret bra. When I get hot it gets red, itches, and welts very badly. I have no idea how to get rid of this or were to go next. All I know is this rash is interfering with my life and every nurse and doctor I have spoken with has no idea what it is and I have even been told it is ringworm. I know what ringworm is and what I have is not that. I feel very strongly that is these VS bras. Please help.

HOPE for the bra rash sufferers !!!!!!

The law firm called me today and emailed me a retainer contract !!
I am SO thrilled!!
YEAH !!
If you need legal assistance, call the CLIMACO (etc. etc.!).. firm in Cleveland Ohio at 216-621-8484.  Make sure you have documentation (i.e. pictures) and medical history.  Put the bras in a ziploc bag if you haven't already.  Do not wash them.  Just seal them up and hope that you can have them tested for formaldehyde.

Treatment suggestions: I now have a pound of Triamcinolone (with 5 refills) from a dermatologist (I have now seen 6 different medical offices regarding this problem....)....which is helping tremendously but I am still dealing with a staph infection, as a side effect, probably brought on by all the horrible itching. ( I have already taken so many other medications I will not go into that here.) ("Anti-histimines" do NOT help.)

My prayers and well wishes go out to all of you suffering out there.  But take heart!
VS will have to face US now...! I cannot wait to finally feel vindicated because this is NOT the same thing as "being allergic to peanuts".  I feel so releived to finally have a voice against this corporate giant who may have fed us POISON.

P.S.  I am eager to share my medical recovery with those of you still suffering.  Please contact me.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
