Nicola Prichard, 40, from Cannock, Staffordshire, visited her local Poundland in January, where she'd purchased a £2.50 of knickers from the Pepco range for her 10-year-old daughter.
When she'd arrived home, she was left 'gobsmacked' after discovering a pair featured the Japanese symbol for "PUSSYCAT" emblazoned across the front.
Using Google, Nicola searched up the symbol printed on the front of the pants, and soon uncovered its meaning of 'cat' or 'pussycat' in both Chinese and Japanese.

The mother said: 'If the pants had anything to do with cats, like pictures of cats or something like that [that would be fine] but there's no correlation as to why this symbol should be on there, especially on children's pants.'.
