H&M is Called Out

Last week, on 35th Street, New York City, unsold H&M clothing was found ripped up and destroyed in garbage bags, behind there 34th Street store. H&M is a stylish and affordable Sweetish store; well know throughout Europe and the United States. Instead of being donated to the less fortunate, or even being put on sale, the clothing was made un-wearable and was secretly disposed of.

The news of this disposal came to light shortly after the clothing was discovered, however not many knew of the incident until twitter got a hold of the story and the store was hit with inquires. Once word was out H&M was bombarded with complaints and questions, however they did not respond right away. Further down on the same street clothing from Walmart was also found destroyed and disposed of, contributing to even more of an outrage. H&M did not return over ten phone calls so the story was leaked to the press. However, once the company was finally contacted, they admitted what they did was wrong, and are now committed 100 percent, to no longer destroying their excess clothing. Walmart has also been contacted, and have said that they donate all of their extra clothing, and could not explain the bags of discarded clothing found, destroyed with machine like holes throughout every garment.
