Will Anyone Sue Target For The Sweater?

BHR Hollywood Reports..........Many are not pleased with Target's portrayal of Christmas spirit in their latest holiday apparel.

The red, green and white sweater reads 'OCD Obsessive Christmas Disorder' an is available at Target for $22.40.

On social media some have criticized the garment for trivializing the mental disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

OCD is a condition characterized by both obsessions and compulsions and affects more than two million American adults, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

In light of the situation, a spokesperson for Target released the following statement: “We never want to disappoint our guests, and we apologize for any discomfort. We currently do not have plans to remove this sweater.”

Boo, @Target. You'll end up on the naughty list if you keep making light of illnesses like #OCD. pic.twitter.com/QERuaFK4OJ
