EMAIL OILILY:

If you're short of time, please feel free to use the text below to email Oilily at: info@oilily.nl

Dear Oilily representative,

I am aware that your product no. 103394-3005 is a copy of Rosa Pomar's well known soft doll and that she hasn't given you permission to use her design. As a consumer, I have lost my confidence in your company. I will never buy from you again and I will advise everyone else to do the same until you have corrected this situation.

Please stop selling product no. 103394-3005 and all other products that include the image of this doll immediately. You should also contact Ms. Pomar and compensate her for her loss.

Sincerely,
[put your name here]

OILILY IS REMOVING THE DOLLS FROM SHOPS:
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf and Daddytypes report that Oilily, declared bankrupt on 6 April 2009, has been ordered to remove the knock-off dolls from shops.

Daddytypes reports:
"Fearing that publicity and criticism of Oilily's knocking off of Pomar's stuffed bunnies could derail the sale of the bankrupt company, the Dutch court trustee appointed to oversee the bidding has ordered that Oilily immediately remove and de-tag all the offending bunnies from the company's stores.

Marc Molhuysen in the Telegraaf: "Whether true or not, we must avoid any appearance," he says. "So I have all the dolls in the shops to get. We cut the labels of the dolls of babies. Procedures are the last thing we can use."

"Procedures" is a reference to the complaint Pomar had filed with the court seeking EUR60,000 in damages and to have the dolls removed and destroyed."
