Question from Gina
Hi,
I have asthma and allergies, and I find I am very sensitive to shoes and jeans that say they are made in China. Lee jeans and regular pants that I bought at Kohls I had to return as I put them in my closet, and the horrible chemical smell came out from them. I ended up returning them the next day. I have seen on other blogs that people have complained of the smell of Lee Jean and Levi’s. Also, most of the shoes in stores now are made in China, and those smell horrible too. Is this them spraying stuff with pesticides before items come to the US? Why do most items smell that come over from there? And where can I find shoes and jeans that are made in the US instead?
Debra’s Answer
I don’t know what they spray clothing and shoes with in China.
There are a number of websites now that list products made in the USA. I started a list of them at Q&A: Made in the USA.
