Costume makeup being sold on Walmart’s online store has sparked outrage from mental health advocates — and for good reason. The makeup set, which is actually called, “Razor Blade Suicide Scar Wound Latex Costume Make Up,” simulates self-harm scars that look like the person has attempted to take his or her*life. The description reads: “Hollywood quality pre-painted latex suicide razor wrist.”
In response, Zee Malvern,*CEO of Revolving of Doors,*a mental health advocacy site, started*a petition*to remove the item from Walmart’s online store. Walmart said in a statement “This costume is appalling and it was unacceptable for a third-party seller to list it on our marketplace. It clearly violated our prohibited items policy and we removed it when it was brought to our attention."
