The same issue happened to American Airlines and they eventually modified the uniforms. It sounds like testing in the lab didn't cover all the cases that ended up irritating a group of people.

Is there something about being a flight attendant that changes they way you use clothing? Does the air pressure do something? It seems odd that Lands End would run into such an issue when their whole business is making clothes.
I'm allergic to some dyes. The dyes are plainly non-toxic, but I can't wear them. I'm also allergic to dry cleaning solutions, so it sucks to be me.

Seems to me the issue isn't Land's End, which is making uniforms to spec. The issue is that Delta isn't accommodating employees with allergies.
