The advertising authorities in Turkey have announced fines for two footwear brands for putting shoes containing pigskin on sale in the country without notifying consumers.
On April 21, Reklam Kurulu, an advertising monitoring body connected to Turkey’s ministry of trade, announced a fine of around $45,000 for New Balance, and one of around $22,000 for Vans. It also told Camper that it had to stop advertising several of its models in Turkey.
Reklam Kurulu said all three brands had made shoes available to consumers in Turkey without clear enough information about their composition. Turkey is a country with a large Muslim majority.
