Harris Faulkner, FOX Anchor, Sues Hasbro Over Toy Hamster

FOX News anchor Harris Faulkner sued Hasbro Inc., last week for producing a toy hamster with her name and likeness as part of its "Pet Pawsabilities" toy line, according to NBC News.

The six-time Emmy Award winner is suing the company for $5 million, alleging that Hasbro Inc., has "willfully and wrongfully appropriated [her] unique and valuable name and distinctive persona for its own financial gain," according to Entertainment Weekly.

The toy hamster was released last year and is part of the Littlest Pet Shop family, according to Entertainment Weekly. Other toy animals in the line include Honey Badgely, Benson Detwylver, and Bitsy Mudinsky.

The 15-page lawsuit filed against the world's third largest toy company by Harris had a lot to say about the production of the seemingly harmless toy.
