VERO MODA recalls a blazer due to finding of traces of aromatic amines.
VERO MODA conducts regular tests in international laboratories to ensure that our products are in compliance with our chemical restrictions and safety requirements. Unfortunately we have found that the above mentioned VERO MODA VERY blazer does not meet the authorities’ and our own quality and safety restrictions. The tests have shown traces of aromatic amines in the blazer. These aromatic amines are considered illegal according to EU legislation. In VERO MODA we work with external suppliers, and we are currently investigating their breach of our restrictions in order to prevent any recurrence.
It is illegal to colour textiles and leather with AZO dyes that can release one or more of 22 aromatic amines. The ban applies to textile and leather articles which may come into direct contact with skin or oral cavity for a longer period of time. The 22 amines are banned because of their carcinogenic properties.
We have therefore immediately recalled the blazer from all point of sales.
VERO MODA gives anyone who possesses the blazer the possibility to return it to any VERO MODA store or to the store where it was purchased. Customers are also welcome to send the blazer to VERO MODA, Slet Parkvej 1-7, 8310 Tranbjerg, Denmark .Customers will receive a full refund and are offered a voucher worth EUR 30 for their inconvenience.
