A group of American Airlines flight attendants has retained legal counsel in preparation for a lawsuit after claiming their uniforms have caused them severe medical distress.
The yet-to-be filed lawsuit is expected to name uniform supplier, Twin Hill, as a defendant, author and member of the American Airlines flight attendant group, Heather Poole, told Business Insider.
It is unclear if American Airlines will be a co-defendant in the matter.
The group has retrained Los Angeles-based firms Balaban & Spielberger as well as Kabateck Brown Kellner.
The group is currently looking for other colleagues whose health has been negatively affected by the uniforms to join in a potential class-action suit.
