My dear mamas I cannot express to you enough how thankful I am for each and every one of you!! Your voices have been heard!! Early this morning I received a call from Fruit of the Loom. They have received an overwhelming number of emails from concerned customers over their legal action against Wonderoos LLC. And so...

We are being allowed to keep our name!
I will agree not to manufacture underwear (lol) and they will allow me to keep the name and the trademark for Wonderoos! I am beyond elated about this and I could not have done it without all of you.

We will still go through a legal proceeding and I will still have legal fees etc, but not fifty thousand dollars!! In the end it will be documented that I own the trademark for Wonderoos!

Thank you thank you thank you all for you support!!

:D Guess a bunch of angry, some hormonal, some just mad Mamas helped them see the error of their ways, eh?

I am glad they came to their senses. And think their askings now are legit and right on. Congrats to you!!!!

(I wrote to them y'day via e-mail, and will write again to tell them I am pleased they decided on the right thing! :thumbsup: )

Um yeah, same here. LOL. I just got done telling my CNM all about this too. At my last appointment I gave her loads of info on Cloth and she was telling me about the sites she found. When I said Wonderoos she knew exactly what I was talking about and thought it was a pretty messed up deal too.

Jessica,

WOOHOO!!!

We moms do have clout when you think of how many pair of underware and socks that darned company would lose from Amity mamas boycotting them alone. :thumbsup:

It sucks that you have any fees at all...but good for you and now your name is solid for your biz.

If I had any babies, I'd buy some diapers from you.
