According to the media, the applicantChelsea Commodore filed the complaint before a New York Federal Court on July 22, alleging that the popular clothing chain "deceives" buyers to buy its products through false advertisements. Commodore says that H&M "takes advantage of the interest of consumers" for sustainability and products that "do not harm the environment".
"The objective of the H&M advertising scheme isMarker and sell products This capitalizes on the growing segment of consumers who care about the environment, but H&M makes it a misleading and misleading manner, "said the costume, according to the best collective appeals.

The trial claims that H&M falsifies data to sell products.
In 2021, H&M presented "Sustainability profiles"To a selected number of its products." Each product receives a score based on the environmental impact of the materials used to do so, "said the clothing chain at the time." On each product, customers will also see detailed data on impacts linked to the use of water, global warming, the use of fossil fuels and water pollution. ""AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB
But Commodore's trial says that these sustainability profiles include falsified information that does not correspond to real data for hundreds of products. "For example, a sustainability profile said that a dress had been made with 20% of water on average, when it was really made with 20% more water," said the costume.
Using "inaccurate and misleading data" on its sustainability profiles, Commodore alleges that H&M "distorts its products as being better for the environment than comparable clothes, when they are not".
Buyers can pay more for items that are not more sustainable.
The trial alleges that a majority of H&M markets of products as being sustainable are "no more sustainable than the articles of [its] main collection, which are not lasting either". This induces consumers in error "who pay a price bonus in the conviction that they buy really sustainable and environmentally friendly clothes," said the costume.
H&M "seeks to differentiate itself from other fashion products in greenwashing products and its brand," said Commodore. "[It is] a deceptive act and an unjust practice because [H&M], one of the biggest polluters in fashion, knows that products are not durable and contribute to significant negative environmental damage on the whole From product life cycle, from culture to incineration. "
Consequently, Commodore affirms that she and other buyers have "suffered economic injuries" because they "would not have bought the products or paid so much if the real facts had been known".
