Walmart Canada has apologized and says they will pull offensive baby onesies from store shelves after customer complaints.

“I Still Live With My Parents,” reads the sleeper, which features teepees and an arrow.

The snap was reportedly taken in St. Catharines, Ont. by Elizabeth Sault, a worker at the Niagara Regional Native Centre in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., and was subsequently shared across social media, with some suggesting the text was disrespectful and racist.

The tweet received hundreds of shares and multiple complaints, with people calling the sleeper, made by Walmart’s George clothing brand, “disgusting” — and also questioning how it got past the manufacturing stage.

@Walmart Is this for real?! You can't seriously be a Canadian corporate organization and not understand the offence of this product. https://t.co/lkXByFdis0 — Bob W (@rdwaldon) July 14, 2017





I haven't finished my morning coffee yet so it took me a minute to process this BS. @walmart has sunk to a low I didn't think was possible. https://t.co/hmomIngdaL — Cheryl D (@DemocracyYes) July 14, 2017









Oh my goodness. How did that get through to manufacture? #tonedeaf https://t.co/y9mdkxZMkM — Simone Browne (@sbrowne0819) July 14, 2017





This is beyond disgusting. They need to fire whoever decided to let this racist filth into their stores and issue an apology. https://t.co/3HfLoJHShd — Robert Jensen (@RobertJensen2) July 14, 2017









And it looks like the backlash has caught Walmart’s attention.

“Duty manager at Wal-Mart says they were contacted by media and are removing them from display. She’s waiting for corporate,” wrote @ginadannis in an update.

APTN National News contacted Walmart Canada about the sleeper and received this response from Anika Malik, senior manager of corporate affairs for Walmart Canada.

“We thank our customers for bringing this matter to our attention. The graphic on this item does not represent Walmart’s beliefs and has no place in our stores. We are removing the product immediately and sincerely apologize for any unintended offence this has caused.”
