Walmart stores are pulling a ‘Naughty Leopard’ costume from shelves after parents complained that it promotes sexuality in young girls. 

The costume is still available online, however, and the name has been changed to ‘Leopard Child Halloween Costume.’

A Walmart spokesperson named Danit Marquardt told KATU-TV, “It was never our intention to offend anyone and we apologize to any customers who may have been offended by the name of the costume.”

Ryan Catalani tweeted, ‘Walmart hits a new low with its “naughty leopard” costume for toddlers.’

Joel Hoffmann added: ‘”Naughty” leopard costumes for toddlers? Gross. Haven’t seen anything this bad since the pleather skirts at Gap Kids.’

Walmart has been forced to pull a number of costumes over the years, including a prop last week that featured a dead, skinned dog on a chain.
