Lego did not remove police-themed toys from shelves but only paused digital marketing for them.

Lego had sent out an email that right-wing liars were misrepresenting, which led to Lego releasing a second statement to clarify, saying, quote, We did not pull our product from shelves. Rather, paused digital marketing activity as a well-intended gesture to show sensitivity for the tragic events in the United States. Generations of children have loved playing with the sets in our LEGO City line that is a constant in our collection. Given the tragic events in the United States over the past ten days, we paused digital marketing of sets that could be perceived as insensitive if promoted at this time.
