Just days after it was launched, Hailey Bieber’s skincare line ‘Rhode’ is being sued by a clothing brand of the same name, reports TMZ.
The owners of Rhode Clothing have reportedly claimed that Hailey using the same name “could easily wash away all the hard work they’ve put into their brand.”
Justin Bieber’s wife launched her skincare line on June 17 with three products.
Rhode Clothing reportedly sued for trademark infringement
According to the legal documents obtained by TMZ, Rhode Clothing is suing Hailey’s skincare brand of the same name for trademark infringement.
In the opinion of the clothing brand’s owners, the star’s skincare brand with the same name could “easily wash away all the hard work they’ve put into their brand.”
Purna Khatau and Phoebe Vickers of Rhode clothing have further reportedly alleged that Hailey and Co. had tried to “acquire” the “RHODE” trademark, but they “refused”.
Apparently, social media users have been tagging Hailey’s brand instead of Rhode Clothing, which is causing confusion among customers.
