Bath & Body Works is apologizing for selling a candle with packaging that some people said looked like Ku Klux Klan hoods.
The 3-wick candle was called ''Snowed In'' and briefly appeared on the company's website for purchase. It was quickly pulled off of the website once the issue was brought to Bath & Body Works attention.
The image on the packaging was supposed to convey a snowflake cut out of paper. The outer edges of the snowflake are white and cone shaped, with two holes cut out near the center.
''I have never seen a snowflake that looks like that,'' one Instagram user commented.
''This wasn't an accident,'' said another.
But others felt differently.
''It's just a poorly executed design - that shouldn't have been approved,'' one Instagram user countered.
''This is a paper snowflake. I would not have looked at that and thought it was a racist candle,'' said another.
