American Airlines Attendants Say Uniforms Are Making them Sick, Want Total Recall
2016-12-05
[Epoch] American Airlines flight attendants are seeking a full recall of new uniforms, claiming the clothes have given them headaches, rashes, eye irritation, burning skin, as well as respiratory issues.
Due to so many of advanced age, it could be the shingles.
According to a CNN Money report on Friday, Dec. 2, more than 1,600 health complaints have been lodged by flight attendants.

The airline said that it has hired an independent lab to test the outfits for fit, wear and allergic reactions. It also offered uniforms made of alternate materials.

#10  Sorry Capt. R.C. A desert isle would have no jungle or fruit trees.

#9  Buffeted by the storm and tearfully repenting of my misspent youth, I put the plane down in a little bay -- and very neatly, too, if I say so myself. A quick reconaissance of the the jungle behind the beach has revealed an abundance of fruit trees and promising game trails, at finding which I promptly gave most poignant, humble thanks to the Almighty for His providence. So here I sit, stranded but safe enough for now, upon a desert isle with none to keep me company but a planeload of British schoolboys trainee flight attendants in itchy woolen uniforms.

#7  Nothing wrong with wool but what did they use to clean it and dye it? Formaldehyde?

#5  Class action suit in 4, 3, 2, .....

Discover the amount of money having them made in China is far less than the lawyer fees in American courts.

#1  China possibly. I can find no information on who manufactured these clothes. I know that Vietnam has had issues with clothing made in China. Red marks left on skin after wearing bras and underwear. Something like a burn as I was told by a Vietnamese friend.
