The product, in the report: Formaldehyde on Cotton Blended Jeans
Caller purchased Jeans made by same manufacturer she had purchased others from approximatley eight years ago. The jeans she purchased eight years ago she said had no odor to them even when she first received them.
She just purchased two more of the same jeans because she has been so pleased with the others, however when she took these out of the plastic they had a very strong odor of formaldehyde.
She has washed the newer jeans three time and hung them outside in the sun but the smell of formaldehyde remains very strong.
When she thought she would be able to wear the newer jeans she hemmed them but when she attempted to iron them the smell of formaldehyde came up with the steam from the iron into her face and she became sick to her stomach. She went outside for fresh air and felt better.
Caller states that the only difference between the two orders are that the first order was manufactured in Mexico and second order was manufactured in China.
She states that she has ordered other clothing from the same manufacturer and until this order had no problems.
The jeans are made of 98% ALGODON & 2% Spandex.
Caller sees this as a safety issue due to the inhalation of the formaldehyde from the clothing causing sickness and possible skin reaction as well.
She would like to be assured from the manufacturer that these jeans are safe to wear because at this point she is afraid to wear them and if this cannot be done she would like to have her money refunded.
