After consumers called attention to the item, a Sears representative responded via Twitter: “This item is a 3rd party Sears Marketplace product that does not abide with our guidelines and is being removed.”
The item also was for sale on Amazon.com, though it is listed currently as unavailable.
The Jewish parenting website Kveller posted an image of the Sears page with the swastika ring before it was taken down.
