Urban Outfitters

The U.S. Labor Department has sanctioned several Los Angeles garment contractors for sweatshop conditions while making wares for Urban Outfitters Inc., Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corp., Forever 21 Inc., the company that owns T.J. Maxx and Marshall's (TJX Cos Inc.), and others.

A Black and Muslim former Urban Outfitters Inc. employee alleges the company violated her civil rights when it fired her for praying at work, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday.

The company that owns retail chains Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie says it has changed a policy intended to combat shoplifting that allegedly resulted in the racial profiling of customers.

"We are deeply saddened and disturbed by the reports of racial profiling in our stores, and we profusely apologize to each and every customer who was made to feel unwelcome," the company said. "Urban Outfitters absolutely rejects racism, racial discrimination and profiling of any form, and we have revised our shoplifting prevention policy to eliminate the use of any code words."

Four years ago the Navajo Nation filed a lawsuit against the multinational corporation, Urban Outfitters, Inc., which includes brands Free People, and Anthropologie, BHLDN, Terrain, and Vetri.

And for years, Urban Outfitters has upset people with cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.

His company pulled a pro-gay shirt back in 08, they also blatantly ripped off an Etsy designers work, featured a t-shirt for women that said "eat less" and most recently had a card with a "tranny" slur on in.

In December 2008, Urban Outfitters pulled shirts bearing the legend "I Support Same Sex Marriage" from shelves in its California stores (shortly after voters in that state passed a ballot proposition restricting the definition of marriage to opposite-sex couples), citing poor sales as the reason.

This is Richard Hayne, President and CEO of Urban Outfitters. He's also a supporter of Rick Santorum and donated over $13,000 to him. He's against gay marriage and abortion.

In June 2010, an Urban Outfitters shirt bearing the legend "Eat Less" was pulled from its online store shortly after its release over controversy that it promoted eating disorders and negative body image.

In March 2012, Urban Outfitters was the object of protests from lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocates for selling a greeting card featuring a joke about transvestism.

Urban Outfitters CEO Richard Hayne donated to Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, and has a long history of writing checks for Republican candidates. But in his store, on the eve of Donald Trump's coronation at the Republican National Convention, a different ethos reigns.  "IDK NOT TRUMP THO," a t-shirt reads, along with mugs, stickers, and a book of Trump quotes packaged in the same form as Mao Zedong's famous Little Red Book. After briefly selling out online, the shirt is now on sale for $19.99. Urban Outfitters "respects the viewpoints of all customers and employees and does not take positions in electoral politics," the company told Business of Fashion.  [Photo: Urban Outfitters]

In 2014, Urban Outfitters pulled a “sun-faded vintage” Kent State University sweatshirt after public criticism that the red stains resembled blood spatter. Kent State was the location of a 1970 protest where Ohio National Guard members opened fire on Vietnam War protesters, killing four students.

Urban Outfitters has been slammed for some pretty serious “oopsies” over the years. There was the vintage-looking Kent State University sweatshirt dyed pink, in a manner a little too reminiscent of the 1970 campus shooting that killed four people.

In May 2011, Urban Outfitters pulled an "I Heart Destination" necklace line from its online store after jewelry designer Stevie Koerner maintained that it had been copied from her "World/United States of Love" necklace line.

The Anti-Defamation League condemned the parent company’s Urban Outfitters chain in 2015 and 2012 for selling shirts resembling Holocaust-era prison uniforms and badges that Nazis forced Jews to wear, respectively.

A recent poll by Hiram College confirms that 18-to-29 year-old support for President Obama is 13 percentage points greater than that for Republican Mitt Romney. So when Urban Outfitters unveiled a line of Romney T-shirts in late May, the decision immediately generated a buzz. (Note: NPR also sells election-themed shirts, "Listen, Vote", through Urban Outfitters.)
