Japanese lingerie group recalls 20000 bras

A Japanese lingerie maker is recalling more than 20,000 brassieres after complaints that underwires suddenly poked out, sometimes while women were wearing them.

The Japanese division of Triumph International, which has made a name for itself with concept lingerie such as a solar-powered bra and an “Abenomics” bra that honoured the economic revival plan of Shinzo Abe, the prime minister, said it took the move because of fears of injury.

“We are sorry for the bother but we ask customers to stop using the bras immediately,” the company said, adding its deep apologies and promising to take steps to prevent a recurrence.

The recall applied to about 22,000 bras ranging in cost from 5,600 to 6,200 yen (£30 to £34) and sold only in Japan

There have been no reports of injuries from the defect, which caused the tips of the underwires to protrude from holes in the fabric, sometimes after washing and sometimes while people were wearing them.

“It would be terrible if it happened again and somebody’s skin was scratched,”a company spokeswoman said.

Emily Ratajkowski Does A Lingerie Strip Tease With The Help Of A Stuffed …

Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” music video was the first time Emily Ratajkowski got naked and danced around on camera, but it certainly wasn’t the last.

This new video for “Love Magazine” has the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model sauntering around in lingerie and doing a strip tease for a giant stuffed panda, and it certainly puts that other one to shame.

Like, really puts it to shame. (RELATED: Yes, It’s Emily Ratajkowski Topless Again)
