Another red check for the economical trend fashion store, H&M. While some shoppers may feel smug that they are buying “organic cotton” clothing, it’s just not as green as they thought.
Apparently some of the cotton they labeled “certified organic” was contaminated with genetically modified cotton from India, the German Financial Times discovered after independent testing. Authorities in India say the fraud is occurring on a “gigantic scale,” and blame organic-certification agencies.
Um, OOPS! If you are going to say you have organic cotton in your clothing, it might behoove you to be sure the cotton is indeed, organic. I’m just sayin’.
This comes on the heels of the story that broke about the retailer shedding and discarding clothing from their stores.
