Home Depot is changing its rope sales policy after multiple nooses were found in stores across the US via businessinsider
"Unfortunately, we've had some instances where spooled rope was used to create hate symbols and we're not going to tolerate it," said Home Depot spokesperson Margaret Watters Smith in a statement. "Out of an abundance of caution, we temporarily removed spooled rope from our aisles."
The home improvement retailer will now replace larger lengths of rope on spools with shorter lengths of pre-cut rope, which will be packaged in plastic. Smith said that associates should be available to assist with specific requests in stores if a customer requires another length of rope that is not offered in the pre-cut selections.
