No one hurt Made Dec 8, 2012, sent to the company Dec 27, 2012, published by CPSC Jan 11, 2013
The product, in the report: Levi Strauss 501 Jeans manufactured now in Central America. My size is 33 X 32 inch waist and length. Product are traditional 501’s dark blue in color, one pair not even ever have been washed or worn. Several pairs other Levi’s thought to be stone washed but also unable to wear.
A few years back I bought on sale several pairs of Levi jeans that I pull out as the old ones begin to wear out. I notice after wearing for a short time that my legs begin to itch and break out. I called Levi and asked them why this was happening. She was kind and checked with her technical Department, called me back and asked if I had any allergies. I said only a few the most horrific being Sulfa. She said they now use Sulfa to set the dye in their jeans as a cheaper alternative to what they had used for years. I am very sorry but this renders to me almost 8 pairs of jeans as useless because after as many as 20 washingings they still are to uncomfortable to wear. Since Levi is a standard many others have followed and are now using Sulfa. Really, my son who is now 23 like his father is very allergic to this drug, in almost any form. I have sent several emails to Levi with no response. I want some jeans to replace the ones that I have which I will gladly pay to send back to them. I just want something that is soft and comfortable. I really feel as a 58 year old life long customer that they would care enough to at least respond in some form to my email. I very much appreciate your help with what I consider to be a major problem for me. Even if they could tell me as I asked them in my emails is there something to add to the wash to neutralize the Sulfa.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]
