Recently, it was William-Sonoma’s turn to rewind the training tapes.
After the FTC found certain Chinese mattress pads labeled “Crafted in America” on a Williams-Sonoma-owned website, the home-furnishings retailer told the agency that, in addition to correcting the errors, it retrained personnel on the “appropriate processes and policies” for verifying country-of-origin information.
