The Range forced to pull weight loss items after complaints they body-shamed women

High-street retailer The Range has been forced to pull a couple of weight-loss counters following backlash from shoppers who have branded them as "dangerous".

The popular store removed the items - a bikini body and wedding dress weight loss counter - from their shelves after they were slammed online for body-shaming women.

The controversial items in question have since been discontinued following the outrage from customers, reports The Mirror. Shoppers who purchased them were encouraged to place a £1 coin for every pound of weight they lost.
