I take it you meant CG? If not, sorry. But Mom didn't sue the company until they'd ignored her for however long and she got DHS involved. They could've rectified the situation before that (beyond asking them to spend however much money they may or may not have had at A&F clothing to take home, try on, and cart back) and then there's a good chance there would be no legal charges to which to admit guilt.

But, the other side to that is this...the company admits their mistake, the mom drops the DHS thing, and
still files the lawsuit after A&F admits they did something wrong.
From a PR perspective, I'd like to think there's a way they could have apologized without an admission of guilt. I went through a whole media relations training on that subject, I just can't remember the specifics, haha.

The basement of the Madison Ave. store had a shooting range in it, while at a pool on the roof, you could learn to fly fish.

Didn't Hemingway kill himself with a gun that was bought from A&F, or manufactured by A&F?
