And Canadian, too.

I just bought a couple of bras designed by a Canadian company, but, made in China.  I have had a reaction to them. It is a prickly burning feeling around the cup.  I persisted in wearing one of the bras for 4 days.  In the end the red punch card effect across the edge of the cup was too much.  I waited for a few days to let the punch card dots go away.  They reduced but are still present.  I tried on the other bra and managed to wear it for a few hours. My entire cup area was burning.  Now I read about all the issues with VC.  My bras are not from VC. Rather from a local small canadian town merchant.  Thus she won't take them back.  The frustration is you spend good money, and you don't know what to expect.  It has the potential to harm these small town merchants.  I certainly won't go back knowing that she won't take back the merchandise. It really is time for all of us to burn our bras in protest to the changes that have developed  over the past 8 years, and seem to be getting worse. Does anyone have any suggestions? Class action lawsuits against other companies?  Recommendations for safe bras?
