Bath & Body Works Pulls Candle After Design Sparks KKK Hood Comparisons

The retailer has apologized and removed the 'Snowed In' candle following backlash over its controversial snowflake design.

The 'Snowed In' candle's label featured a snowflake design that some social media users said resembled Ku Klux Klan hoods.
Bath & Body Works issued an apology, stating the design was unintentional and committed to removing the product from shelves and online.
The candle was briefly available before being pulled, yet some were resold on eBay, with prices reaching up to $350.
Critics on social media dubbed the candle the 'klandle' or 'Klan Krismas Kandle,' sparking widespread discussion and criticism.
This incident follows previous controversies for the company, including a 2022 backlash over cultural appropriation in Black History Month products.
