In response to George Floyd’s death the leading Toy manufacturers Lego company has suspended the marketing of police toys.
In a tweet, a unit of UK-based Merlin Entertainments, said that it has “temporarily paused digital advertising in response to events in the US”. Lego, however, clarified that it has not removed some toy sets from sale.
“We’ve seen incorrect reports saying we’ve removed some LEGO sets from sale. To be clear, that is not the case and reports otherwise are false. Our intention was to temporarily pause digital advertising in response to events in the US. We hope this clears things up,” Lego said on Twitter.
The Toy manufacturing company on June 3rd posted that they stand by the Black community via Twitter.
