The Swedish clothing company, H&M, has pulled a collection of clothes bearing images of the famous Canadian pop star, Justin Bieber, which includes shirts and jackets in addition to shopping bags, from its store shelves, following the young singer criticized it.
Bieber, 28, took to social media earlier this week to attack the fashion line, calling him “scum” and saying he had never given his consent for his images to be used on the products.
On the other hand, H&M says it has followed appropriate procedures in this regard.
However, what happened prompted the Swedish fashion company to announce the lifting of those products, which had also already disappeared from the company’s online stores.
The company said: “(H&M) followed the appropriate approval procedures, but out of respect for the cooperation and Justin Bieber, we have withdrawn the clothes.”
