I don’t know the story here but it does happen. Twice in my life I’ve ended up with the censor at home. You can’t remove it without destroying the garment and you can’t take it back, lol. Now when I buy something I always make sure it is removed.

Happened to me quite a few times when I was a kid because one of my aunts always gave us Christmas gifts with those tags still on. My dad used to get them off with the nail-pulling end of a claw hammer.
