In April 2003
American Eagle Outfitters in USA introduced
following Sandals as one of their summer products. This company operates about
750 American Eagle stores in the US and Canada.
On 27
April, 2003 IndiaCause launched an informal protest (which was not
yet conveyed to our members). We also communicated our disappointment with
the Management and expected their response before we launched a formal
protest.
On 29 April, 2003 American Eagle Management responded positively to our
protest and faxed their letter confirming "Please
accept this letter as our formal apology for our use of the image resembling
the Lord Ganesh on this product". In
his letter Neil Bulman, Jr. (Vice President and
General Counsel, AE) assured
"we will remove these flip-flop shoes from our
stores".... (letter below) |

We assume hundreds of visitors would have sent their protest to AE
Management using our site.
Thank you
Team @ IndiaCause
