"The clothing giant H& recalls a model model of children's socks with Lego motifs. Customers have criticized the socks as they consider reading "Allah" in the picture.
"Altogether a coincidence," says Petra Buchinger, Press Officer at H & M.
After criticizing the advertising of a sweater with the text "Coolest Monkey In The Jungle", H&M has created new dissatisfaction - with a pair of socks.
The motif on the socks is a Lego figure that drills in the ground. In a video on Facebook, a man criticizes the company when he believes that the line that illustrates the drill bounces prints "Allah" on the socks.
As a consequence, H & M has removed the socks from its range.
"The print on the stocking depicting a Lego figure and that it would look like a sign for something else is entirely coincidence. But because customers have responded, we have chosen to remove the socks," says Petra Buchinger, Press Officer at H & M.
She adds that H & M constantly looks over its product range, and strives to offer products that they think customers will appreciate.
"We've learned of the event with the shirt and have further strengthened our internal routines," says Petra Buchinger."
