Image of false LEGO box circulated via e mail
An image of a false LEGO box is currently being circulated across the world via e mail. The picture of the box is computer manipulated and in the picture LEGO elements are used to depict the Prophet Mohammed in a situation of a sexual nature – with a severely offensive text.
The LEGO Group wants to stress that there is no such LEGO product, and that the company totally condemns the picture and the manner in which someone has made use of the LEGO products and brand.
The LEGO Group does not know the original source of the image which back in spring appeared on some European websites. Possibilities of stopping this use of LEGO products and brands are being investigated, and the LEGO Group is collaborating with the Danish police in the matter.
The LEGO Group has released a statement which can be downloaded from this site.
