Could some designer outfits be harmful? According to a new finding by China's Zhejiang Commerce bureau, they could be.
Shen Yan, one of the officials at the bureau, claims they collected samples from many of the department stores in some of their richest cities and found over 60% of the clothes inspected to have been poorly made or mislabeled.
Among the brands with the poor ratings were Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo Boss, Versace, and Hermes which failed quality control tests.
The inspectors found that some clothes even contained high levels of acid or formaldehyde which "could have caused skin rashes, eye irritations, allergies, respiratory problems and even cancer."
The clothes, not made in China, were found to have been made in other countries including Italy, France, Turkey, India, and Vietnam.
As for the Chinese, they're not letting this slide. Instead, officials are fining retailers who sell the tainted clothes and forcing them to remove the items.
China will not be fining the designer labels as they're aren't registered as businesses in China.
Wonder if any of the hazardous items are being sold in the US?

Dolce & Gabbana's favorite leading lady is back!
Madonna has teamed up with the Italian duo once again to not only star in another ad campaign, but to co-design 6 pair of sunglasses for the new MDG line.
This is D&G's first co-branded project ever and the first items to drop under the queen of pop's Iconix Brands collaboration.
The designers said Madonna was very involved with the entire process. After the two sketched over 50 different sunglasses, M then tweaked and changed until she was satisfied.
The new shades are expected to hit shelves in May just in time for summer and will retail between $248 to $289.
