BOSTON (AP) A foundation set up by Julia Child is locked in a legal battle with the manufacturer of Thermador ovens for touting the late chef’s use of the company’s high-end appliances.
The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts claims BSH Home Appliances Corp. is using Child’s name and image without permission. The Irvine, Calif.-based manufacturer says it is simply making a factual reference to Child’s use of its appliances.
