記者游琁如／台北報導

黃色小鴨21日在基隆正式登場，卻傳出荷蘭藝術家霍夫曼被惹毛，拒絕參加開幕典禮，黃色小鴨侵權事件愈演愈烈，對於種種爭議，霍夫曼設計團隊於今(22)日晚間10點30分來信《ETtoday東森新聞雲》發表聲明，表示將對范可欽的不實言論，進行法律追訴。「范可欽暗箭傷人、廉價及醜陋的賺錢方式，讓人忍無可忍。」

《ETtoday東森新聞雲》持續追蹤黃色小鴨事件，記者在21日寄信給霍夫曼，在22日獲得該團隊回應。信中一開頭表示看到《ETtoday東森新聞雲》有關於范可欽與商品的報導，因此他們特別做出回應。

「黃色小鴨，快樂基隆」前總策劃范可欽曾駁斥，合約並無註明不能在基隆小鴨展館賣其他款小鴨公仔，且詢問霍夫曼之前小鴨在大陸、香港、桃園展出時，當地也販售非霍夫曼設計的產品，為何沒採取行動，霍支吾回應。對此質疑，霍夫曼團隊指出：「范可欽在大陸時認識霍夫曼，當時他提出要大量創做相關商品，就已經遭到霍夫曼本人清楚且大聲地拒絕。」

霍夫曼團隊指出，范可欽於六個月前開始參與基隆黃色小鴨策畫團隊，一開始范便因為想大量販賣商品而詢問過霍夫曼本人，沒料到遭受拒絕後，范反而以迂迴方式繼續製作，霍夫曼團隊指出，「合約內容承諾，不應有其他商業活動行為，必須立即停止。」

「范可欽在未經授權狀況下，用廉價和醜陋的方式製造了商品。」霍夫曼團隊指出，范可欽的種種惡劣行為，加上其發表的談話內容不斷「暗箭傷人」，令人憤怒。此外，對於范可欽的種種不實指控，霍夫曼團隊表示，目前已經請求法律專員調查相關違約證明，將會採取後續行動。
