Tefal third company named in boycott against France

Consumers Union named Tefal as the third company to be brought under
the boycott campaign against a new French company every week
following the French Parliament’s decision on October 12, 2006
concerning the so-called Armenian genocide. Consumers Union had
initiated the boycott campaign with
Total (Elf) petroleum retailer in the first week and brought L’oreal
under the boycott in the following week.
Consumers Union Chair Bülent Deniz called on the Turkish consumers
not to buy products by French company Tefal. Deniz said `From today
to the day that the unfortunate decision by the French Parliament is
withdrawn, we are not buying the products by French Tefal and its
subsidiaries Moulinex and Rowenta.’
Deniz expressed his confidence that the boycott against Tefal would
be supported by the consumers, like the Total and L’oreal boycotts
initiated in the first two weeks, and stressed that the boycott would
be decisively maintained until the legislation that criminalizes the
denial of the so-called Armenian genocide is withdrawn.
