A baby doll found at a local Costco store has been pulled from store shelves following complaints from customers complaining it is offensive.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
According to Costco representatives, a Greensboro customer filed complaints about the offensive doll and the company pulled the product from stores.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
The product is a doll called the "Cuddle with Me" baby doll manufactured by a company called BrassKey Keepsakes. The controversy stemmed from the black version of the doll which is surrounded by monkeys and wears a hat labeled "Lil' Monkey," while the white version is surrounded by pandas and wears a hat labeled "Pretty Panda."</DIV>
