As of yesterday, Nike Inc. reports receiving up to 100 boxes of tattered, smelly old sneakers daily at its Wilsonville, Oregon storage from sufferers of an email hoax who entirely expect to be sent a brand new pair of Nikes in exchange.
What they'll receive instead is a manner letter stating that the message which reminded them to put their shoes in the mail is phony and not condoned by the enterprise; that though Nike does have a shoe recycling agenda, that does not contain one offer of new sneakers in commute as old ones; and that entire shoes the enterprise receives in articulation with the hoax message will be held as 21 days and then recycled unless senders advertise the company that they want the shoes back.
The misinformation, circulating since mid-February, has grown from a inferior headache to a major an for Nike in recent weeks. Because the address given out in the message is slightly inexact, the company has been competent to pathway how many shoes it receives daily in rejoinder to the hoax. That measure has extra than doubled over the quondam week.

guaranteed Tough" Dog Toys - Made From ZogoflexDoes anyone know a dog that doesn't chew? Have you ever returned home to find your new shoes with doggy damage or your favorite book ripped to shreds? How about a DVD with teeth marks in it? Dogs get bored and puppies need to teethe. Dogs, like babies, like to "taste" their world, so chewing is normal behavior. Providing your dog with plenty of toys will prevent your personal items from being destroyed.But do any dog toys last longer than two minutes for a dog who chews aggressively? If they are made of Zogoflex, they do.What is Zogoflex? This is an extremely tough material that is pliable, buoyant and designed to be recyclable. Virtually no waste is created in the manufacturing process of Zogoflex. Zogoflex material is made in the USA. It is non-toxic and FDA compliant. It's used to create dog toys that are durable and fun for your dog. These toys are guaranteed against doggy damage.As an important note, Zogoflex and any of its components do not contain any known sources of lead, cadmium, mercury, latex, natural rubber, phthalates, hormones, Bisphenol A or asbestos. That's pretty significant, considering the news not long ago about dog toys on the market that were harmful to dogs.Zogoflex is also dishwasher safe. If it gets dirty, it can be placed on the top rack of your dishwasher and will come out clean and looking like new.The Zogoflex line of toys includes the following:A dog toy called a "Hurley" that is shaped something like a bone that can be tossed for a game of fetch. It even floats, for dogs who love water.A toy called a "Zisc" that looks like a frisbee but is more pliable. It can be thrown like a frisbee but can also be used as a tug toy.A toy called a "Huck" that is shaped something like a ball, again good for fetching.A toy called a "Bumi" that is in the shape of an "S" but is very flexible and can be stretched, good for tug-of-war.A toy called a "Tux" that allows dog treats to be tucked into it for more of a challenge to your dog.How is Zogoflex guaranteed?If you have a dog that is able to damage a Zogoflex toy, then your dog must be an amazingly powerful chewer as the return rate is less than 1%. You can return the damaged toy for a one-time free replacement or a refund, your choice. The damaged toys are inspected for weaknesses and then recycled. Since there are 5 different styles in the Zogoflex product line, that means 5 free replacements if your dog damages one toy from each style. Due to the different shapes and sizes of the Zogoflex toys, some dogs may be able to damage one style of toy but may not be able to damage another style.Finally -- a dog toy that stands up to bulldogs, Jack Russell terriers and any other aggressive chewers and is eco friendly too!monster headphones.
