Vitasea Fabric Controversy
In November 2007 The New York Times reported that it had commissioned laboratory tests that failed to find significant differences in mineral levels between cotton T-shirts and the fabric Vitasea, used by Lululemon in some of its clothing lines. Following the publication of the Times article, Lululemon commissioned a rush laboratory test that it claimed confirmed the seaweed content of its Vitasea line. Lululemon was subsequently forced to remove all health claims from its seaweed-based products marketed in Canada, following a demand from the Competition Bureau of Canada.

Famous quotes containing the words fabric and/or controversy:
“It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
