H&M Wins Dismissal in Greenwashing Suit

Abraham Lizama purchased a turquoise sweater from H&M’s ​“Conscious Choice” collection, a line of clothing ​“created with a little extra consideration for the planet” which generally include ​“at least 50% of more sustainable materials.” Although we imagine that Lizama looked quite handsome in his sweater, he soon regretted his purchase and filed a class action against the retailer, accusing it of greenwashing because the sweater did not meet his view about what’s good for the environment.
