The fact that von Fürstenberg was president of the CFDA added to the controversy. Fürstenberg later said she did not know Clauson's age and apologized. Six months later, in August of 2012, Clauson made head-line news again when her parents reportedly were suing Urban Outfitters and two other retailers for the unauthorized use of risqué photos of Hailey on their t-shirts. The suit says the shirts "force" Clauson "to be the object of prurient interests and provides wallpaper for the likes of pedophiles." Clauson's parents sued all three retailers and the photographer for $28 million in damages.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/parents-sue-retailers-and-photographer-over-provocative-shots-of-daughter-used-on-t-shirts-2529083/#photoViewer=1|title=Parents sue retailers and photographer over provocative shots of daughter used on t-shirts|date=August 19, 2011|last=Douglas|first=Joanna|publisher=Yahoo!|access-date=August 21, 2011}}</ref> In February 2012, the case against the photographer was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction by the New York-based federal court.
