H&M Bypasses Times, Tweets Statement on Destroyed Merchandise
H & M and Wal-Mart find themselves in a bit of hot water after a New York Times story this week revealed both retailers intentionally destroyed unsold merchandise during the holiday shopping season rather than donate it to charity. Per the Times:
