Target Apologizes for Selling Controversial Halloween Clown Costume
Target has issued an apology after coming under fire for selling a Halloween clown costume described as "offensive."
"We are deeply sorry for any offense caused by the recent sale of this item," a spokesperson for Target said in a statement. "Our goal is to provide inclusive and fun options for all customers, and we fall short when an item offends our diverse customer base."
The costume, which featured a grim-looking face paint and a baggy outfit, sparked criticism on social media, with many calling it insensitive and inappropriate.
