黄色小鸭21日在基隆正式登场，却传出荷兰艺术家霍夫曼被惹毛，拒绝参加开幕典礼，黄色小鸭侵权事件愈演愈烈，对于种种争议，霍夫曼设计团队于今(22)日晚间10点30分来信《ETtoday东森新闻云》发表声明，表示将对范可钦的不实言论，进行法律追诉。“范可钦暗箭伤人、廉价及丑陋的赚钱方式，让人忍无可忍。”

《ETtoday东森新闻云》持续追踪黄色小鸭事件，记者在21日寄信给霍夫曼，在22日获得该团队回应。信中一开头表示看到《ETtoday东森新闻云》有关于范可钦与商品的报导，因此他们特别做出回应。
“黄色小鸭，快乐基隆”前总策划范可钦曾驳斥，合约并无注明不能在基隆小鸭展馆卖其他款小鸭公仔，且询问霍夫曼之前小鸭在大陆、香港、桃园展出时，当地也贩售非霍夫曼设计的产品，为何没采取行动，霍支吾回应。对此质疑，霍夫曼团队指出：“范可钦在大陆时认识霍夫曼，当时他提出要大量创做相关商品，就已经遭到霍夫曼本人清楚且大声地拒绝。”

霍夫曼团队指出，范可钦于六个月前开始参与基隆黄色小鸭策画团队，一开始范便因为想大量贩卖商品而询问过霍夫曼本人，没料到遭受拒绝后，范反而以迂回方式继续制作，霍夫曼团队指出，“合约内容承诺，不应有其他商业活动行为，必须立即停止。”
“范可钦在未经授权状况下，用廉价和丑陋的方式制造了商品。”霍夫曼团队指出，范可钦的种种恶劣行为，加上其发表的谈话内容不断“暗箭伤人”，令人愤怒。此外，对于范可钦的种种不实指控，霍夫曼团队表示，目前已经请求法律专员调查相关违约证明，将会采取后续行动。
