Walmart pulling Juneteenth themed products from shelves after social media backlash
Walmart is pulling Juneteenth-themed products from its shelves after receiving backlash on social media from users who suggested the company was attempting to profit off of the federal holiday.
Walmart received a negative response from many users on social media over products, including red velvet and cheesecake flavored ice cream, that came with a label saying, “Share and celebrate African-American culture, emancipation and enduring hope,” KTBC-TV reported this week.
