“Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner believes a small plastic hamster is ripping her off, and she wants $5 million for her trouble.
Faulkner sued Hasbro Inc. this week in U.S. District Court in New Jersey for “creating, manufacturing, and distributing for sale a plastic toy hamster named ‘Harris Faulkner'” as part of its “Pet Pawsabilities” toy line.
Lawyers for Faulkner — a six-time Emmy Award-winner who anchors “Fox News Weekend” for the news channel — said Hasbro’s inches-tall plastic hamster with a butterfly hat “willfully and wrongfully appropriated Faulkner’s unique and valuable name and distinctive persona for its own financial gain.”
