A rep for Pinkberry just e-mailed us to say that the frozen-yogurt chain will no longer carry Italian design company Alessi's Mandarin Juicer, which offended customers as an Asian caricature. "We started removing them awhile ago," writes the rep. "They were part of an eclectic collection, and we in no way ever intended to offend anyone by displaying them."
Look for the juicers at surplus-cup-loving Ray’s Pizza soon?
