Black dolls meant for abuse pulled from shelves

-

Black rag dolls meant to be abused have been pulled from three stores in New Jersey after customers and a state lawmaker said they were offensive.

The “Feel Better Doll” featured instructio­ns to “find a wall” and slam the doll against it.

The president of One Dollar Zone says roughly 1,000 dolls were pulled from its store in Bayonne, New Jersey, and two others this week.

Democratic Assemblywo­man Angela Mcknight, whose district includes Bayonne, is calling the dolls “offensive” and “inappropri­ate.”
