Horrified mum spots 'sexually inappropriate' hidden meaning on Poundland girls' knickers A mum is calling on Poundland to remove a set of children's knickers from sale after branding them sexually inappropriate.
Nicola Pritchard bought a £2.50 four-pack of pants from budget retailer Poundland's Pepco range last month to give to her 10-year-old daughter, but was left horrified after her baffled daughter asked what the Japanese symbol on the front of one meant.
A Poundland spokesman said: "While these are part of a wider Japanese-themed cat range that includes socks and vests, we understand why Nicola questioned one item out of the context of the whole range.
The discount retail giant said that although they were part of a wider Japanese-themed cat range they "understand why" Nicola questioned one item out of context and apologised.
Nicola, from Cannock, Staffordshire, said: "I had previously bought some [knickers] for my daughter with a different design and she had said how comfortable they were.
