The Sale Of 100% Egyptian Cotton Products Blended With Blended Cotton, WAL-MART And Many Other American Retailers Will Face Charges.

The US federal court has said that several US retail giants Walmart Inc (WAL-MART), Target Corp and Bed Bath & Beyond Inc will have to face violations of warranty clauses and false allegations of product descriptions.

This case can be traced back to 2016, when a researcher at Target Corp found that the group was sold by Welspun India Ltd, India fabric group, and blended with cotton blended with the product "100% Egyptian long staple cotton".

Egypt's long staple cotton is rich in silky luster, tough texture and good dyeing effect, so the price is much higher than that of ordinary cotton.

In August 2016, Target announced the termination of a contract of $90 million a year with Welspun. Later in the same year, Walmart and Bed Bath & Beyond also announced that they stopped selling the products marked with "100% Egyptian long staple cotton" by Welspun.

Vincent Briccetti, a judge in New York, said that consumers paid too much for these goods. Retailers such as Target continued to sell their products in the next few months after they discovered that there was a problem with Welspun products. Walmart may even know that there were problems with Welspun products in 2008, so they had to face prosecution from consumers.

Briccetti said consumers in New York and California could sue in accordance with consumer protection in their respective states, accusing Welspun's US branches and related retailers of violating warranties and false descriptions of products.

Welspun's US subsidiary may also be charged with cheating consumers.

At present, lawyers from all sides have not commented on the matter.

The lawsuit was initially held by another judge, Richard Sullivan, who later pferred to the federal appeals court in Manhattan, and the case was also handed over to Briccetti.
