Walmart spokeswoman Danit Marquardt told KATU on Wednesday that stores are now pulling the costume from the shelves.

'It was never our intention to offend anyone and we apologize to any customers who may have been offended by the name of the costume,' Marquardt said.

The costume is still available online, however, and the name has been changed to 'Leopard Child Halloween Costume.'

Customers took to social media to voice their disapproval of the costume.

Joel Hoffmann added: '"Naughty" leopard costumes for toddlers? Gross. Haven't seen anything this bad since the pleather skirts at Gap Kids.'
