LONDON – British sex symbol Katie Price introduced a new collection of lingerie last week. Price, better known as Jordan, is a model, singer, and TV presenter-though, perhaps, she is best known for her tabloid-worthy romantic life and her propensity for showing off her voluptuous figure. Her line, which caters to women with average band sizes and D through G cups, is produced in conjunction with Britain's prominent brand Panache Lingerie and is carried exclusively at the U.K.'s Wal-mart subsidiary, ASDA. During a promotional appearance at the ASDA location in Essex, England last week, Price modeled the new collection and signed autographs for onlookers.

NEW YORK – Lawsuits have been filed against mega-retailer Victoria's Secret, with litigants claiming the store's bras caused allergic reactions. Two class action suits, accusing the chain of misrepresenting the safety of its garments, seek reimbursement for medical costs and the purchase price of the bras.
Hundreds of complaints have been filed, citing dermatitis, blistering, itching, hives, rashes, and scarring. The reactions are thought to have been caused by formaldehyde in the fabric. Though the chemical is occasionally used to prevent creasing in clothes, Victoria's Secret denies that the substance is utilized in the manufacture of their bras. However, the store has acknowledged receiving complaints about skin irritation.

GUANGZHOU, China – A man was attacked last week by his wife after surprising her with a gift of sexy lingerie. The lacy underthings, purchased clandestinely at a "sex culture" show, were meant to be a thoughtful present. When he revealed the sexy gift, however, she allegedly accused him of "being indecent"—and then attacked him, kicking him hard enough to break his leg. When the man sought medical treatment for his injury, the couple was forced to disclose how the bone break had occurred.
