Maging maingat po tayo sa pagbili ng mga Flip-Flops na usong uso ngayon.
Di porke mura ay ayus na. Ito pong mga mumurahing flip-flops na ito ay mga import from China.
Most of their products contain chemicals to preserve the aesthetics/design of their products,
which in turn result to unwanted skin diseases..

See for yourself na lang po!

Here's the truth sbout this..

Commentary:
This emailed message includes several photographs depicting a woman's feet with a severe skin reaction apparently caused by a pair of rubber flip flops (usually called "thongs" in Australia and "jandals" in New Zealand). The message claims that chemicals used in the manufacture of the flip flops caused the rash. According to the message, the flip flops were made in China and sold cheaply in Wal-Mart stores in the US.

The case described in the message is true and the photographs are genuine. The afflicted feet shown in the images belong to Kerry Stiles of Marion County, Florida. Stiles has created a website that features information and a series of photographs depicting the results of apparent chemical burns caused by a pair of flip flops she purchased for $2.44 at the Marion County Wal-Mart. She bought the flip flops for a photo shoot and then wore them for around an hour. But she later developed the painful and debilitating skin reaction shown in the photographs. The strap-shaped appearance of the rash strongly suggests that it was indeed caused by the flip flops.

On her website, Styles maintains that Wal-Mart was very unhelpful when she tried to alert them about a possible problem with their product and even suggested that she call the manufactures in China herself.

Regardless of its initial reaction, Wal-Mart apparently decided to take the matter seriously since it recalled Chinese made flip flops from its stores in September 2007. Kerry Styles is not the only person who has suffered reactions to the flip flops. Further cases were reported to Wal-Mart and other people who have had similar adverse reactions have contacted Styles via her website.

Apparently, however,
Dr. Nanette Silverberg, director of pediatric and adolescent dermatology at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, said that the burning sensation is most likely due to allergies to the rubber on the shoes or to the chemical components, like Thiuram and Dithiocarbamates, used to break down the rubber in the shoes.

"When you think about the large distribution, it's not likely that it's the chemical coating that's extremely toxic," Silverberg said. "It can be allergic contact dermatitis, which is an allergy to something the skin comes in contact with. There are a variety of agents that can do it in flip-flops."
Health concerns with Chinese made products are not unprecedented. Earlier in 2007, millions of toys made in China were recalled due to the use of lead based paint. And, in June, the FDA released a warning that toothpaste made in China may contain a dangerous chemical called DEG.
