Bath Body Works apologizes for selling candles that looked like Ku Klux Klan hoods
Oct 14, 2024
(CNN)– Bath & Body Works has stopped selling one of its candles after its design sparked controversy online.
The label on the holiday-scented candle was decorated with a stylized paper snowflake.
But many people on social media compared it to the hoods and robes worn by Ku Klux Klan members.
Bath & Body Works has apologized and pulled the candle from its website and retail locations.
The retailer’s collection of holiday-scented candles amount to nearly 40% of its annual sales.
