H&M Promises To Not Dispose Clothing LABEL, MAIN, RETAIL 01.07.10Written By Ben

Earlier this week, the New York Times had posted an article on how H&M destroyed and threw out garments that have never been worn. According to the report, someone had slashed most of the items with razors in order for them not to be worn.

This was going on on bags that were found from H&M and Wal-Mart on 35th Street on Manhattan. Nicole Christie, a spokeswoman for H&M in New York stated that, “It will not happen again. We are committed 100 percent to make sure this practice is not happening anywhere else, s it is not our standard practice.”

Christie went on to state that H&M’s policy is to donate unworn clothing to charitable groups. Hopefully, this is a good lesson for both Wal-Mart and H&M so they could prevent such behavior in their other locations.
