Multi-national food giant Campbell’s has threatened a women’s rights campaigner with legal action over a fundraising mug depicted in the style of a soup can.
The America-based firm - which boasts £7.5billion revenue a year- fired a threatening missive to Kellie-Jay Keen, 49, over items she sells on her Adult Human Female store.
They include a cup which bear’s the lettering ‘Posie’s courage tomato soup’ and an email badge featuring a cartoon tin.
Campbell's legal letter arrived last week and ordered her to stop using what it described as its 'soup can imagery' by September 22.
Mother-of-four Ms Keen decided to do a tin parody design after she had the liquid food thrown over her during a speaking tour of New Zealand.
She told MailOnline: 'I was surprised to receive the legal letter, it's always feels like a bit of a boot on the neck when a big corporation goes after you.
'I think it's scary that large corporations think it's better optics for their organisation to target women's rights campaigners.'
