Normally I do wash my clothes before wearing them but when I'm on the road
and traveling I wear socks and undies from the package.
Motels and hotels -you know how it is.

Biowarfare-that's the name for it!

Electricneo:

Am wondering if their are other stories.


A New Zealand TV station programme did a piece on this subject in 2007.

TV3's Target programme will this week detail how scientists found formaldehyde in woollen and cotton clothes at levels 500 times higher than is safe.

What is the International research on formaldehyde exposure ?

International research supported by the World Health Organisation shows exposure to formaldehyde in concentrations of 20 parts per million (ppm) can cause eye, skin and nasal irritations, respiratory problems, asthma and cancer.

The real cost of cheap clothing could ultimately be our health ...

Europe had banned 22 aromatic amine dyes which were known carcinogens. But Target investigations showed 10% of clothes tested in China contained them

I find this strange. People say the WHO lies when it comes to things like vaccines and other medications known to cause serious physical harm, hell there's umpteen thread on this very site dedicated to just that, yet when it comes to bashing on someone, the WHO are suddenly the authoritative source on everything that is good for you. You can't have it both ways.

I've bought just as much crap in the US as I have stuff from China, yet oddly enough most of my "Made in China" crap still works. (Made in the USA is an international joke and pretty much on par with "Made in China").

As for the poisonous clothes, if you are that bothered, have them tested and file a class action suit against the retailer.

Great links - thanks.

As many are saying it could be that China is just careless and makes crap.
Careless means not looking out for others and lacking compassion.
China has clown politicians who don't even care about their own citizens
never mind the atrocities they are causing in Tibet.

For now on I'm going to pay the extra and buy US made organic cotton (no pesticides)
and hemp clothing.
I've been eyeing the hemp clothes at local stores awhile now.
A bit expensive but better quality and design.
Made in USA by happy stoners.

I am in a position to closely observe Chinese clothing production...
...they will produce whatever is specified.

The wool Formaldehyde problem was the result of western fashion firms demanding ridiculous prices, so low-quality fabrics were used...
...and Formaldehyde is used to 'improve' the feel of cheap wool.

Most local labels use Chinese or South-East Asian factories anyway...
...and even when made locally the fabrics are usually sourced from there...
...they just manage the specification and quality control a little better.
