Walmart’s Director of National Media Relations, Ragan Dickens, has
issued a statement on behalf of the company regarding the description of
the item.
“We are very sorry and appalled that this third party seller
listed their item with this description on our online marketplace. It
is a clear violation of our policy, and has been removed, and we are
investigating the seller to determine how this could have happened.”

Walmart is under fire for allegedly selling a wig cap described as a
“ni**er brown” shade. Although the product has been removed from their
site, screenshots live forever.
The product description
of “Jagazi’s Natural Full Cap Weaving Net Wig Cap” lit up on Twitter,
after users notices that the cap had a terribly racist name to describe
the color. Walmart swiftly attempted to change the product’s name and
description, but it was far too late. The URL was also not changed,
which made the whole situation worse.
