Talk:Modal (textile)

message: Put a warning out about this material!!! Modal can cause serious allergic reactions in certain people.  Consumers should be able to find out about the risks involved with the fabric.  Don't let more people face confusion or distress over not knowing what is causing their rashes!!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.156.15 (talk) 05:35, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I found this article helpful as well. My parents bought me a shirt made with modal, and I was curious about the fabric. I'm positive that this incident happens thousands of times every day, and to delete this article would be a great disservice to the english speaking world. I vote keep.
I agree.  I have lots of things made from this fabric and I was very interested to learn more about it.  If you want to merge it with the rayon article, that's fine, but at least have some kind of redirect so people can find the information.  I found it helpful and interesting. 192.54.250.11 (talk) 20:17, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Don't delete 

message: Is there a way to add information about the potential allergic reactions to Modal?  I recently bought some Jockey underwear with modal in it, a new popular 'natural' fabric.  I had a severe allergic reaction, but there was no warning about it on the package.  I'm not the only one- as this website shows: http://dld123.com/q&a/index.php?cid=43  I haven't been able to find any research about it, but maybe that's why BB & B discontinued it.  I've sent a complaint to the consumer protection agency.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.156.15 (talk) 04:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Closed deletion listing

message: I think the line about the kind of sheets available at Bed Bath & Beyond should be removed. It's so specific that it's almost an ad.

replies: text: Right now the article reads more like an advertisement for retail outlets' modal items.  The whole section listing every store and product available should be reduced to something like "Modal is becoming increasingly popular with American retailers." --NEMT (talk) 15:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remove retail store reference? 

message: Others have complained of allergic reactions, but no one has mentioned how loathsome this stuff feels. The article claims it is "softer than mercerized cotton", but it doesn't mention that it also feels like a particularly nasty synthetic. After inadvertently trying a towel made mostly of this stuff I wanted to take another shower. It made my skin crawl. Enon (talk) 01:11, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Could Use a Criticism Section

message: Hi. I tried clicking the reference link and was taken to http://cameo.mfa.org/materials/record.asp?key=2170&subkey=6142&Search=Search&MaterialName=modal+fiber&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 which is a broken link. I went on that site though and found the article that it was trying to reference. The link should now be:
http://cameo.mfa.org/wiki/Modal_fiber
I tried to change it but could not figure out how :( so someone with more wikipedia editing skills, perhaps they could make the change. Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.201.4 (talk) 14:16, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
