Home Depot modifies rope sales after nooses found in storesSpools in pre-cut lengths most commonly requested will be soldBy Audrey Conklin FOXBusinessHome Depot is modifying the way it sells rope after discovering that people were making nooses out of the spooled rope in some of its stores.
The home improvement retailer has taken away spools of rope and is instead selling pre-cut rope in lengths that are most commonly sold, Home Depot spokesperson Margaret Smith told FOX Business.
"Unfortunately, we’ve had some instances where spooled rope was used to create hate symbols and we’re not going to tolerate it," Smith said in a statement. "Out of an abundance of caution, we temporarily removed spooled rope from our aisles."
