Draft:Welspun Global Brands

Welspun Global Brands Limited is a manufacturer of bed and bath linen headquartered in New Delhi.

History
It was founded in 1984 and is part of Welspun World (then Welspun Group).

Lawsuit
Target, a retail corporation headquartered in the United States, ended its agreement with the company after a disagreement arose regarding the supply of cotton. In a statement released on August 19, 2016, Target Corporation noted that its supplier, Welspun Global Brands, was responsible for producing 500-thread count sheets labeled as Egyptian Cotton under the Fieldcrest brand for Target. Target expressed concerns, alleging that Welspun had replaced Egyptian cotton with a different non-Egyptian variety during the manufacturing of these sheets from August 2014 to July 2016, without Target's awareness. In response, Target withdrew the affected products, offered customers full refunds, and severed ties with Welspun in August 2016. Walmart and Bed Bath & Beyond also discontinued selling the implicated linens later that year.

On August 20, 2016, Welspun confirmed a product specification issue in a client program of its subsidiary, Welspun Global Brands. They initiated immediate investigations and appointed a Big Four external audit firm to review supply systems. Welspun emphasized the issue's priority and commitment to addressing it.
