Talk:Modal (textile)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Put a warning out about this material!!! Modal can cause serious allergic reactions in certain people. Consumers should be able to find out about the risks involved with the fabric. Don't let more people face confusion or distress over not knowing what is causing their rashes!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.156.15 (talk) 05:35, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Do not delete this article: I found it very helpful!

[edit] Don't delete

I found this article helpful as well. My parents bought me a shirt made with modal, and I was curious about the fabric. I'm positive that this incident happens thousands of times every day, and to delete this article would be a great disservice to the english speaking world. I vote keep.

[edit] More info please

Is there a way to add information about the potential allergic reactions to Modal? I recently bought some Jockey underwear with modal in it, a new popular 'natural' fabric. I had a severe allergic reaction, but there was no warning about it on the package. I'm not the only one- as this website shows: http://dld123.com/q&a/index.php?cid=43 I haven't been able to find any research about it, but maybe that's why BB & B discontinued it. I've sent a complaint to the consumer protection agency. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.156.15 (talk) 04:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Remove retail store reference?

I think the line about the kind of sheets available at Bed Bath & Beyond should be removed. It's so specific that it's almost an ad. Jennifer Brooks 06:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

--Comment--

Why bother until B,B&B has a competitor in this product ? It sounds like this material should be ENCOURAGED, not discouraged. The ubiquitous Wal-Mart offers men's socks of Modal. If anyone else does, delete this, otherwise not, even if it is WM.


The reference to BB&B was relevent because BB&B was almost the only US store where such sheets were available. However, as of July 2007, it looks like they're phasing their modal sheets out. Can anyone confirm this? 207.31.229.4 20:52, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Right now the article reads more like an advertisement for retail outlets' modal items. The whole section listing every store and product available should be reduced to something like "Modal is becoming increasingly popular with American retailers." --NEMT (talk) 15:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Lots of retailers have modal sheets and clothing. It's becoming more common. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
