Hmmm....makes me think of the blankets infected with smallpox. I suppose it could be a biowarfare tactic----chemically laden in clothes. But
wouldn't it wash out?
Don't you wash new clothes before you wear them?
Am wondering if their are other stories.
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.
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.
Europe had banned 22 aromatic amine dyes which were known carcinogens. But Target investigations showed 10% of clothes tested in China contained them
