CND threatens Unilever over use of peace symbol
Cynical transnational using iconic anti-nuclear sign to flog Lynx deodorant
CAMPAIGN for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) threatened to sue consumer goods transnational Unilever yesterday for “cynically” using its iconic peace symbol to flog deodorant.
The Morning Star can reveal CND has been forced to resort to legal action after Unilever refused to make a donation for using its symbol to brand and advertise its Lynx products.
A copyright row has been brewing since the new “Lynx Peace” range, including body spray, shower gel and shampoo, was launched last month.
