Toxic chemicals found in sport bras

CNN --

Ladies you'll want to check your sports bras. New testing done on some popular brands show that there are high levels of BPA found in many sports bras. BPA can be dangerous to your health and lead to things like asthma, heart disease, and even obesity.

Here are the brands you're going to want to look out for: Athleta, Pink, Asics, The North Face, Brooks, All in Motion, Nike, and Fila. When the Center for Environmental Health tested for BPA they found that those brands could expose the wearer to 22 times the safe limit of BPA based on standards set in California.

The sports bras in question are polyester based and contain spandex. All of the companies mentioned above have been sent legal notices.
