Goods that are now, apparently, leaking toxic substances all over the show.

AKA, wearing these fast-fashion goods can add to the long list of things that can give you cancer. That's not all. Formaldehyde, a chemical commonly used in home building products, was detected in Shein's caps at double the allowable threshold.
