Seven Republican attorneys general sent Target a letter on Thursday warning that the company’s Pride collection may violate child-protection laws.
Led by Indiana AG Todd Rokita, the group said some of the items sold in the collection were “potentially harmful to minors.” Additionally, the Republicans argued the company put the economic interests of shareholders at risk because of the boycotts that transpired.
"As Attorneys General committed to enforcing our States’ child-protection and parental-rights laws and our States’ economic interests as Target shareholders, we are concerned by recent events involving the company’s 'Pride' campaign," they wrote. "Our concerns entail the company’s promotion and sale of potentially harmful products to minors, related potential interference with parental authority in matters of sex and gender identity, and possible violation of fiduciary duties by the company’s directors and officers."
