While Erina posted a picture of the sweater and said: ‘yo @Target thsi is bad, put it away in a deep deep dark hole.’

The retailer responded to some of the tweets online saying: ‘We never want to offend you with the items we carry. We’ve shared your thoughts with our Merchandise review team. Thanks!’

However, the sweater still appears on their website and is available to buy online.

A spokesman for Target told Adweek: ‘We never want to disappoint our guests, and we apologize for any discomfort.

‘We currently do not have plans to remove this sweater.’

It is the second time this week that Target has come under fire on social media after it announced their Black Friday sales would actually be starting at 6pm on Thanksgiving.

Not everyone appreciates the early start with one commentator posting on Target’s own website: ‘Have some respect for your employees, and let them celebrate the holiday with their families.’

The early openings yielded mixed results for many stores. In many cases, the move simply shifted the timing of sales rather than enlarging the number of sales.
