| These pants exhibit a wrinkled and puckered appearance after dry cleaning. |
| The Drycleaning & Laundry Institute issued a warning for these defective pants by ASHRO. |
These
gold ladies ASHRO pants are made form a blend of metallic, nylon, silk and cotton
fibers, with a cotton lining. When dry
cleaned, as recommended on the care label, the stiff metallic fibers distort,
creating a rippled, puckered and shrunken appearance.
ZIPS Tip: Fabrics
containing metallic fibers have similar properties to aluminum foil. The foil
is flat when removed from the roll, but once it has been folded or crumpled, it
is permanently distorted and cannot be flattened out again.
Since
1972 the Federal government has required all manufacturers to provide at least
one safe cleaning method. Since these gold metallic blend pants were unable to
withstand the manufacturers’ recommended cleaning method the garment is
defective and should be returned to the store or manufacturer.
DLI also pointed out that ASHRO is not knowingly or continually producing defective goods. While this pair of metallic pants is defective, that does not mean any other garments from ASHRO are defective.
