LOS ANGELES—A woman is suing a cosmetic company with many celebrity clients, alleging its false eyelashes that contain mink fur are falsely advertised as being manufactured in a “cruelty-free'' way when in fact they made in China in a manner abusive to the semiaquatic mammals.
“The animals frequently show signs of extreme psychological distress, such as frantic circling and self-mutilation, and suffer from ... illnesses and injuries that commonly go untreated,'' according to Haylee Woodard’s proposed Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit against El Segundo-based Lilly Lashes LLC.
