I went to Anthropologie today to finally use my birthday coupon and gift cards. I didn't find a whole lot, but I got this sweater and a bottle of perfume. I wanted this sweater since I saw it in the Philly store, but it left fuzz on my clothes, so I wasn't sure. I'm hoping once it has been washed it will stop shedding. Honestly, I am pretty disappointed in the clothing there right now...too many ruffles and short sleeves sweaters. Also, while I was there I noticed several very disturbing little signs. In a section with beautiful cups, saucers, plates and drinking glasses just begging for me to take them home, there were pieces of crisp white cardstock printed in typewriter font the following words, "Warning: These products may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm." Eeeww! Why would they sell products for eating and drinking that may contain lead?!! I'm used to seeing these for crystal vases, and decorative items, but I figured by this point all the higher end stores were not carrying items used for eating and drinking that contained lead. Now, I'm all worried because I bought some wine glasses there a few months ago and now I'm afraid to drink out of them!

Why on Earth WOULD they sell soemthing that's potentially dangerous to their customers??!! So weird! I love Anthropologie, but that is definitely disturbing.

That's so scary....Anthropologie is definitely my favorite store but lately the quality of their fabrics has been really poor. Thank you for sharing this I will keep my eyes open.
that lead notice is just ridiculous!! and i hate white fuzz on dark clothes!
By the law of our great state of California, retailers are required to post signage that states that the glassware they sell may contain lead. The chances that they contain any sort of harmful chemical is slim to none, only California is paranoid enough to care. In any other state you wouldn't even see this notice.
