Reisman's bakery issues explanation about "gebaken noch Pesach" sticker on cookie

Reisman's cookie
Resiman’s Bakery first issued the following explanation following the release of the a photo showing a cookie with a sticker that it was baked after pesach 5775:

Firstly, we have no chometz left in our bakery over Pesach, as has been verified by our kashrus agencies.
A vendor at JFK airport placed an order a few days before Pesach for 24 pieces of Jumbo Black & White Cookies. The labels that were meant to be used after Pesach were mistakenly put onto these cookies.
We have the highest standard of kashrus, with supervision by the best Kashrus Agencies.

We regret the error, but please be assured that, other than those 24 Black & White cookies, all of our product that you will see with the “after Pesach” label will indeed be baked after Pesach.

Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions you are welcome to contact our Kashrus agencies, or our office after Pesach when we reopen.

Reisman’s later stated that after learning of the label error, a company representative went to John F. Kennedy Airport to ensure that the products were disposed of.

“We have become aware that people are circulating letters allegedly
signed by us,” Shia Friedman of Reisman’s added. “Any letter other than the above statement did not originate from Reisman’s Bakery.  We respectfully request that people stop writing false letters using our company name. Even if you have good intentions, we prefer to speak the truth. Thank you.”
