Hasbro Lawsuit
In September 2015, Harris sued the toy company Hasbro over its "Littlest Pet Shop" product line. The toy line featured a hamster named "Harris Faulkner." Obviously, the news anchor believed the toy was named after her without her permission. She also further claimed that they toy was made to resemble her, with large eyes and lots of eye makeup. Harris (the person) rejected Hasbro's claim that the same name was a coincidence, asserting that her name was too unique and, therefore, her right of publicity was being violated. Her lawsuit sought $5 million in damages. The lawsuit was settled a year later, with Hasbro agreeing to cease production on the doll.
