Kids tech company Fuhu had a terrific Black Friday sales promotion featuring $149 Nabi-branded tablets for $99, but the tablets haven’t shown up, and customer emails and phone calls haven’t produced a refund or an explanation, the Wall Street Journal Bankruptcy Beat Blog reported yesterday. Fuhu sent out emails warning that the Black Friday sale was such a hit, deliveries could be delayed, though the company is hoping to catch up on orders soon. Fuhu filed for chapter 11 protection on Dec. 7, low on cash and inventory, and has since secured court approval on critical motions to ensure it can continue business as usual, said Chief Executive James Mitchell. Fuhu has product to sell and is shipping orders on an expedited basis, he said. In court, a lawyer for Fuhu’s main lender, Tennenbaum Capital Partners, said that it is making accommodations to ensure the company can get product to customers.
