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."

Yeah, that's a disgusting thing to do. I don't know what's wrong with people.
Did Walmart initially refuse to remove it? I see that CEO guy started a petition, which (to me) sounds like Walmart might've refused to take it down initially. If that's true, then Walmart is just as guilty. But if the CEO started a petition against Walmart without first contacting them, then I feel bad for Walmart because they're getting hit and they might not have known. A better thing to do (in that case) would be to start a petition against the 3rd party seller who put up the sui scar kit. You can see all 3rd party retailers' names. But I do agree that a petition of some sort was needed. We need to draw attention to these situations. It's a sad fact that some people have no shame. |

I agree I'm not sure what they where thinking or that there would be consequences
