According to The Toy Book, LEGO sent an email to its marketers requesting that they remove product listings for over 30 LEGO sets, figurines and accessories Tuesday afternoon.
These sets included the LEGO city police station, fire station, police dog unit, patrol car and the police highway arrest, among many others.
The toy company released a statement on Wednesday to give context to its decision in light of national protests and promised it will work to “ensure that we are clearer about our intentions.”
“We requested that our affiliate partners refrain from posting promotional LEGO content as part of our decision to respect #BlackOutTuesday and pause posting content on our social media channels in response to the tragic events in the US.
We regret any misunderstanding and will ensure that we are clearer about our intentions in the future,” a LEGO spokesperson said in a statement to The Toy Book.
