RIO DE JANEIRO – W/Brasil and its client Grendene have been barred by the Sao Paulo Consumer Protection Authority from running a television commercial that shows children destroying their tennis shoes in order to ask parents to buy new Grendene sneakers. The commercial stars Brazilian kid-show host Xuxa. W/Brasil says it will appeal the ruling.
