Lululemon yanks “see-through” black yoga pants

Lululemon has pulled all of its new black yoga pants off the racks after complaints that they just show too much through the fabric. The pants are made in Taiwan and it appears that the company and manufacturer are at odds as to how this happened. While Lululemon seems to be indicating that the problem lies with the manufacturer, the Taiwanese supplier says it followed design specifications and the retailer merely misjudged customer tastes. “We expect this issue will have a significant impact on our financial results,” the company said in the statement. “We have used the same manufacturing partner on key fabrics since 2004. This event is not the result of changing manufacturers or quality of ingredients.” Lululemon said it will offer full refunds or exchanges to customers who bought the black Luon pants after March 1 either online or in stores.
