Fox anchor, Hasbro end suit over toy hamster with same names

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Fox News anchor has settled a $5 million lawsuit against Hasbro for a toy hamster that had her name and she claims was designed to look like her.

Harris Faulkner sued Pawtucket, Rhode Island-based Hasbro in federal court in New Jersey last year. She said a plastic hamster named “Harris Faulkner” that was part of the company’s Littlest Pet Shop line wrongfully appropriated her name and persona, harmed her credibility as a journalist and was an insult.

Hasbro had said the hamster was not named for the anchor.

Both sides asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed on Wednesday.
