Target Apologizes for "Offensive" Children's Halloween Costume
Target has issued an apology following public outcry over a children's Halloween costume it was reportedly selling.
The item, allegedly named 'Kids' Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown,' faced criticism for its controversial design.
"An apology from us: We pulled an offensive Halloween costume that should never have been part of our assortment," Target stated on X on August 24. "As a company, we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry."
The corporation acknowledged that the bodysuit, which social media users compared to "racist minstrel imagery," is no longer available for purchase.
"We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners," the statement continued. "Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won’t happen again."
