JNBY, a popular designer label founded in 1994 and headquartered in Hangzhou, added that it had also opened channels for refunds and apologised to buyers.
A Chinese fashion label has pulled a children's clothing line and apologised after consumer complaints surfaced about prints that contained references to racial violence and suggestive phrases including "let me touch you".
The designs by JNBY, widely shared on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, prompted outrage and criticism among users who said that the designs were unsuitable for impressionable youngsters.
One photo showed an item with the English words: "The whole place is full of Indians. I will take this gun and blow them to pieces," while another had cartoons of a boy being shot with multiple arrows.
"What is JNBY trying to express with such prints?" one social media commenter wrote. "I used to like their adult's clothing, but didn't expect their children's line to be so sinister!"
