Jordan Chiles’ Mom Speaks Out Over “Racist Disgusting Comments” Toward Her Daughter
Bath & Body Works is owning up to a major oversight.
The retailer issued an apology after a new winter-themed candle design depicting a paper snowflake was compared to Ku Klux Klan (KKK) hoods on social media.
“At Bath & Body Works, we are committed to listening to our teams and customers, and committed to fixing any mistakes we make-even those that are unintentional like this one,” Bath & Body Works shared in a statement with NBC News. “We apologize to anyone we’ve offended and are swiftly working to have this item removed and are evaluating our process going forward.”
The candle, which critics on X, formerly Twitter, dubbed the “Klandle” and the “KKKandle,” had an image of a snowflake with rounded edges that met at a point and featured two holes in the middle. Some noted that the pattern looked similar to the white hoods worn by the American white supremacist group.
