Target announced on Aug. 19 that it has ended its relationship with Indian textiles manufacturer Welspun, after an investigation revealed that the company was supplying fake Egyptian cotton 500-thread count bed sheets for its consumers. 

The second largest discount retailer in the United States—behind Walmart—was unaware that the Mumbai-based company was supplying bed sheets made from fake Egyptian cotton under the Fieldcrest label for Target for nearly two years, beginning in August of 2014. The phony product is a violation of Target’s Code of Conduct and its Standards of Vendor Engagement.

Following the investigation, Target removed the counterfeit products from its store shelves and its online retailer, and are offering refunds to customers who purchased the bed sheets between August 2014 and July of this year.
