FIFA is asking a Toronto cannabis retailer to stop selling bongs that resemble the World Cup trophy, according to reports from multiple outlets. The shop, Cosmic Charlies, sells a golden bong that is styled to look like the tournament’s trophy. The business is represented locally by co-owner Sean Kady, who says a law firm representing FIFA sent letters demanding the shop stop selling the product. Kady says the company received the request on the same day outlets report the issue. FIFA’s position, as described in the coverage, is that the bong infringes on FIFA’s rights, specifically citing copyright concerns related to the World Cup trophy design. The outlets report that the correspondence is directed to Cosmic Charlies’ stores in Toronto. The retailer has not been reported as offering a legal challenge in the articles provided, and no outcome from FIFA’s request is described. The dispute centers on whether the trophy-like design of the cannabis accessory violates FIFA’s intellectual property protections.
