Weekly gross out: Urine found in counterfeit fragrances

Last week I told you feces might be lurking in your new clothes.

Allow me to ruin your lunch once again. Valerie Salembier, senior vice president and publisher of Harper's Bazaar, told Good Morning America today that counterfeit perfumes are full of horrible surprises.

Among other things found in knock-off perfumes, Salembier's team discovered some active ingredients found in fake fragrances like Red Door and Chanel No. 5 included urine, antifreeze and bacteria.

Salembier said her magazine is dedicated to uncovering these health risks because perfume sprayed on your face, neck and arms is often absorbed into the skin.
It will make you think twice before celebrating again your $14 purchase of a fake Dolce & Gabana.
