Lululemon recalls see-through pants

Lululemon Athletica has recalled 17% of the women’s yoga pants in its stores because the latest batch were apparently too sheer. The quality control problem forced the company to cut its revenue forecast by $12-17 million and its stock price took it on the chin.

“The ingredients, weight and longevity qualities of the pants remain the same, but the coverage does not, resulting in a level of sheerness in some of our women’s black Luon bottoms that falls short of our very high standards,” the company stated. “We want you to Down Dog and Crow with confidence and we felt these pants didn’t measure up.”
