The star is now calling out clothing company Teespring for copying the designs.

“This is a copy that is not affiliated with me or my charity.

“No idea where the money is going to and they are breaching copyright,” she said, sharing a link to the Teespring sweatshirt.

The description on Teespring’s link said:

“Discover Caitriona Balfe’s charity sweatshirt, a custom-made product just for you by Teespring.”

The company replied to the actress asking her to file a complaint, to which she replied:

“This is not the first time your company has copied t-shirts I have designed for charity. As you’ve never signed a contract with me you should know you are not representing me or World Child Cancer. Please cease selling these.”

The item is no longer available on the website.
