As Michaels locations were stocking the book, titled “Feminist Cross-Stitch,” for Women’s History Month this month, at least two employees noticed that four of the 40 patterns contained a specific obscenity, according to the company.
They told their managers. The corporation’s headquarters took action, ordering Michaels stores in the United States to remove the books, which were tossed in the trash, the company said.
“It is our policy not to sell products with the ‘F’ word in or on it in our stores,” Michaels said in an emailed statement. “It is not in line with our brand and that policy will not change.”
Copies are available at these South Central Library System public libraries through LINKcat.
