In 2010, TODAY aired a Jeff Rossen investigative report in which hidden cameras revealed some retailers reselling returned underwear. The investigation found outlets of Victoria's Secret, Nordstrom, Wal-Mart, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, The Gap and Marshalls taking used underwear back from customers and putting it back on their shelves. When confronted, the retailers said they'd "re-educate" their staffs.

Following up four years later, the Rossen Reports team returned to New Jersey outlets of the same chains (though not the exact same stores) with hidden cameras. As in 2011, they purchased women's underwear and removed all the tags. Before returning the undergarments to the stores, the Rossen team put two little dots on each label with black marker to identify the items

At Macy's, the returned underwear wound up in a clear plastic bag with other "damaged" items. At Bloomingdale's, the clerk took the underwear to the back room, and it was never seen again. There were similar results at Nordstrom and The Gap.

But at Victoria's Secret, the sales clerk quickly tossed two pairs of returned underwear behind her, and it didn't take long for both items to wind up back on a table for sale, as new.

At Marshalls the Rossen team bought a set of underwear and a swimsuit, not only taking off all the tags, but also removing the protective liner from the bathing suit so it looked used. When the items were returned, the saleswoman wasted no time putting on new tags. The bikini and underwear were carted out and put right back on the racks as if they were brand new, even though a sales associate assured a Rossen producer that "we can tell if it's used or not."
