Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Jul 15, 2012, sent to the company Aug 7, 2012, published by CPSC Aug 21, 2012
The product, in the report: 2 brassieres: one white, one off-white; very plain; no underwire; made of elastane and nylon.
In early August, 2011, I wore an new Warner’s bra made of elastane and nylon (model #4018). I developed deep lesions and welts on my both sides of my body where the bra pressed against my skin. I contacted Warner’s who asked that I send photos and my bra, which I did. They kept the bra for 4 1/2 months, claiming they were having it examined and would send me a report of their findings.
Warner’s did no testing of the material whatsoever. Nevertheless, they stated: ’”There are no toxic chemicals present in the product.” They could not possibly know this simply by looking at it. Why would it take 4 1/2 months to look at a bra? (I asked them to return it, all the while mistakenly thinking they actually checked it for particular suspected chemical contaminants.)
Eventually they sent me 2 bras which I did not request and did not want. I wrote a letter to the company. The head of the Risk Management department replied, telling me that I should use the bras they sent and implied that if I washed them first I would have a different result. I laundered one of the bras along with my other laundry and wore it. At the end of the day when I was getting ready for bed I was shocked (once again) to see that the skin underneath the sides of the bra had deep lesions. I saw my family doctor and she said I had developed dermatitis. The 2d bra was also made of elastane and nylon, model #2085.
Manufacturers should not be allowed to sell intimate apparel which causes injuries to a person’s body. And if they do, they should own up to it and make it right, not send them more more toxic clothing to cause a second injury.

The product, in the report: Warner Bras
Warners Bras
I developed a severe rash on my breasts after wearing Warners bras, style no. 1593. My breasts were bright red with raised welts and severe itching. The rash was on the entire area that the cups of the bra touched my skin.
When I purchased the bras in spring of 20111 began to have small itchy patches on my breasts. suspected the new bras might be the cause and I went back to wearing myoid bras; the rash cleared up in a few weeks. I decided to try wearing one of the Warners bras again and after one day of wearing had a severe reaction over the entire area where the cups touched my skin. The entire area that was covered by the cups of the bra was bright red, with raised welts and severe itching. I discontinued wearing any of the Warners bras. It took approximately 4 weeks for the rash to completely heal.
The Warners bras were washed before wearing them. The Warners bras were washed in the same load as myoid bras using the same detergent I have used for years.
I contacted Warners on August 8, 2011 to report the problem. They asked that I mail the bras to them for testing. I cut one bra in half and kept one ofthe cups. Warners sent me panties as a replacement.
