SELLERS POLICY UNDER REVIEW

-

Walmart said it will not display in its stores the flag of the U.S. state of Mississipp­i, which includes a Confederat­e flag emblem, and is separately reviewing if items sold on its website in Canada breached its terms after online outrage over “All Lives Matter” products on the site. The company will no longer display the Mississipp­i state flag in its stores while the state debates whether to make changes to its design after it drew opposition. Separately,

social media users complained over links to products like an “All Lives Matter” shirt for sale on the Walmart Canada site. The company said the product was shipped and sold by a third party seller. Walmart added it was reviewing items in its “third-party marketplac­e” with variations of the phrase “lives matter” to ensure compliance with “terms and conditions.”
