NEW YORK (Reuters) - In the latest act of sanitizing New
York's mean streets, lawmakers want to rid the city of a scourge most
people are not even aware of -- previously worn lingerie being sold as
new merchandise. Council members are mulling the proposed legislation
after watching a local television news broadcast which claimed leading
department stores, including Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy's, had tried to
resell returned undergarments. Under current law, stores do not have to
state whether undergarments on sale, including women's panties and
thongs, have been bought and returned, although certain stores have
developed their own policies. "This is a major consumer and health
issue in that the amount of bacteria that can be transported from one
person to another in just one wearing can be a health hazard," said
council member Tony Avella.
