LONDON — A major British clothing retailer withdrew a children’s bathing suit from sale Wednesday after a front-page tabloid story criticized the store for selling padded cups on bikinis aimed at 7-year-olds.
“It’s a shame it was ever put on the shelves in the first place,” said Justine Roberts, founder of the Mumsnet, a parenting website that attracts a large, vocal audience. She praised the decision to pull the bathing suit from the shelves.
Announcing the immediate withdrawal of the product, Primark promised to donate any profits already earned from the item to a children’s charity. The product line, it added, “sells in relatively small quantities.” The Associated Press; AP photo
