Glad they pulled them and are reimbursing people. Chances are that Target didn't even know that they were selling a mis-represented product.

I was on Amazon yesterday and one of their deals of the day was 'Egyptian TYPE' sheets. Anybody not paying attention would read Egyptian cotton into that but they weren't even cotton at all.

@chickenbutt

I agree with you. I don't think that Target knew either. IMHO

Target is taking care of the customers who purchased the sheets and took swift action with terminating the supplier.

I'm wondering how they found out, or how would anyone know this? Have they said? Good for Target.

I also wonder how they found out.

Scary thing is: how many OTHER things from overseas suppliers are fake? Think about that for awhile....

Target is being proactive because they don't need more bad publicity. They haven't fully recovered from the credit card debacle.

Tiny print, I can't read the story but I'm sure Target didn't realize they were knock offs. They say a lot of the merchandise that we buy in big name stores are counterfeits because the retailers are targeted and victimized. I suppose it's just the world we live in.

A couple of years ago, I went to Bed/Bath to buy a sheet set. I told the female working there that I didn't want sheets from India (I once had a problem where the threads were pulling). She handed me a sheetset that said Mexico on the wrapping - so I bought it. When I opened it, the lable on the sheetset said India. I should have returned.

Not sure if it's the same sheet sets, but I ordered a set online of Fieldcrest Luxury Eqyptian Cotton 600 thread count deep pocket sheets & ended up returning them to my local Target store. The website said they had a 20" deep pocket on the fitted sheet & when they arrived, the packaging said they were only 18" deep. I was glad that I noticed the discrepancy before I took them out & laundered them & tried to put them on the bed.

@JDJ555

Amazing story how even large retail stores got scammed!!!!!! Glad Target came out and severed their relationship with them. A while ago, I stocked up on Northern Nights Wrinkle Defense sheetsets from QVC - no problems.
