My daughter orders some baby clothes from this company in Florida. Although she did NOT order the t-shirt in question, she received the following email:

Dear Customer
I am writing to apologise.
We feature a T shirt in our new Mini Boden catalogue with an image of a toy gun (Sheriff T Shirt). Many of you have contacted us about this.
I don't want you to think we are an irresponsible organisation. I founded this company to create clothing ranges that captured a spirit of fun, honesty, individuality and family. We have made a mistake with this product and we feel stupid, especially me. Please accept my apologies.
To be perfectly honest, I didnít give the selection of this T shirt enough thought. I have 3 girls, Anna, Kate and Stella. We donít see any guns in our household. I relied on memories of my toys when I was a boy (a long time ago) when life was a lot safer.
We have now removed the Sheriff gun T Shirt from sale in the US. However, as we print our catalogues well in advance you could receive another which still features the T shirt.
Thank you very much for letting us know how you feel. Keep the feedback coming; good or bad. Itís the only way we can get better.
I am truly sorry.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely
Johnnie Boden
