Some were quick to point out that Amazon has the same Jagazi Natural's Full Cap Weaving Net product listed without a racial slur in the description.
Walmart promptly replaced the "add to cart" button with a message stating the item was no longer available.
Like we said above, as of this posting, the product is completely unavailable on the website.
"We are very sorry and appalled that this third-party seller listed their item with this description on our online marketplace", Danit Marquardt, a Walmart spokeswoman, said.

An interceptor based in Alaska shot down an intermediate-range target launched over the Pacific Ocean north of Hawaii. The U.S. has also asked the Philippines and India, which also do trade there, to end those ties with North Korea .
A spokesperson for Walmart said the item was removed, as it was a violation of their policy.
Walmart's use of the N-word in its product description continues to draw outrage, with many calling out the retailer on social media despite the quickly issued apology.
Walmart swiftly attempted to change the product's name and description, but it was far too late. The real JAGAZI is a 100 percent black company for black people. Meanwhile, Jagazi issued a statement on its website saying they are aware of the Walmart image and that someone used the company's name to list an item.
Travon Free tweeted a screenshot early Monday morning of the company's listing for a wig cap made by Jagazi Naturals. "Please beware that we are reporting this to as many people as we can and trying to get all the listings pulled down. No one will buy the product when you put that offensive name on it". Others have criticized Walmart for passing the buck onto the third-party seller rather than taking total responsibility for what ended up on its website.
