Talk:Gilchrist & Soames

Edit Request
Hello, I would like to request non-promotional edits to the article for Gilchrist & Soames. I am a third party contractor working on behalf of Gilchrist & Soames. Please see my user page for a complete COI declaration and additional information.

The introduction of the page states that Gilchrist & Soames is known "primarily for massive, repeated recalls of its contaminated products." This is a factually inaccurate characterization of the company. Gilchrist & Soames has issued recalls of its products in the past (this information is outlined lower in the article), but it is misleading to say this is what the company is known for. The company is primarily known for its TSA-approved travel collections that are available both in hotels and for consumer purchase.

Gilchrist & Soames is also well-known for its BeeKind™ collection of products that support honey bee and sustainable pollination research.

Gilchrist & Soames' history of recalled products should, perhaps, be contained within a dedicated "Recalls" heading, rather than separated into individual sections. Malsturgeon (talk) 14:44, 14 March 2016 (UTC)


 * To say the company is "known for" something we would need sources discussing its reputation. Even after the 2014 and 2015 recalls, sources don't seem to do that. I find no indication that it's primarily known for anything TSA-approved either, though.
 * While I was at it I also removed both spam and editorializing, both inappropriate, from the "manufacturing" section. Huon (talk) 21:05, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
