Metro 7 clothes
One of Walmart’s first attempts to make its own fashion-forward clothing was this very private-label brand, which was launched in 2005 alongside some splashy ad campaigns in Vogue. Even so, as the line managed to do pretty well in some stores where it was originally launched, Metro 7 failed miserably to catch attention in the wide majority of Walmart stores.
So the company ultimately decided to shut it down. However, it seems that Walmart had more success with private labels such as Faded Glory.
Water Gremlin products
Water Gremlin is a Minnesota-based company that makes lead fishing sinkers. Unfortunately, it completely fell out of favor with Walmart at the end of 2019, as they later discovered that the kids of factory workers were found with high levels of lead in their blood, which was directly linked to their parents’ exposure to the products, as Minnesota Public Radio has shown.

i do appreciate all of your efforts to keep us safe and healthy
Somehow they consider the concept of a woman president to be against “family values”. How is that keeping us safe and healthy?
I wish we could see less production of China
Products at Walmart I will not buy anything
With China on it .
I tried not to for 30 years or so but now I have practically given up.
makes 2 of us.
Same here
GREAT MOVE !! 🙂
Then, where do you buy your China for Sunday dinner?
france, england, taiwan
Ikea
The paper plate isle
Ebay.i have beautiful Old Country Roses English fine china.After my husband surprised me with basic service for 8, i started buying one piece a month..besides more basic plates, i have 3 platters in 3_sizes, Serving bowls,,ceramic oven proof casserole dishes, tea,pots, a,coffee server, cake plates, pasta serving bowl and pasta plates, covered vegetable bowls, egg cups sand with long plates , salt, pepper and,sugar bowls, clear salad,serving bowl,,with matching individual bowls, and a big soup tureen. And more.
I started collecting around 1984. Everything in great shape, too.And bought a piece at,a,time, it was,easy on the budget. And not from China.
Agreed!!! They are good at masking their products however, even on Amazon and Facebook. You have to be very savy at researching products n ow a days.
if everything we buy from China was made in the US guess what, we would need 5 times the income to buy it. WONDER WHY IT’S MADE IN CHINA!
a wheel bearing made for my car in USA was quoted $145. one made in China cost $44. which one do you think I bought? I bought the China one and it out lasted the original USA one.
I fully agree!!!
About the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the military leadership, the ability to appoint a cabinet, restore pride in America and the respect of the world? How about not having FAKE pandemics, business lock downs, JAB mandates, a border not overrun with illegal/unvetted welfare drains, an national debt of never repayable, nosebleed proportions, weaponized DOJ, corrupt as hell president who was not duly elected, etc., etc., etc.?
Good move! Thank you.
I liked white stag the best. So disappointed you dropped them.
I will miss that one
Me too
Thank you fr letting me know that a retailer has a conscience.
You didn’t note the disappearance of the individual Pecan pies? My all time favorite item from Wal-Mart!!!
I Loved those
Thank you Walmart, for looking out for us. I myself think you have done a good job.
But they sell garbage lawnmowers and when they break down they tell you to contact the manufacturer. The problem with that is the manufacturer doesn’t answer the phone or they tell you to contact them by email that they don’t answer either. DO NOT BUY A POWERSMART LAWNMOWER FROM THEM. They are junk and they don’t stand behind their products
SOOOO sorry to see White Stag on the list!
Walmart is Anti-women. OK. As a woman, I am anti-Walmart. Why is a woman president against family values? Because, according to Walmart, women are chatel.
Could not have said it better myself!!
It has long been a trend with Walmart since Sam Died that any off brand that outsells a Name brand is discontinued in favor of the higher priced name brand. It is how they operate in order to sell the name brand. They also create their own Shortages of certain items like Cat Food, Walmart’s brand Special Kitty will be out for weeks until the expensive brands are nearly sold out.
Makes sense to me now
Why does so many people think or feel like Walmart looking out for them ? You got them to drop these items by complaint or not buying !!,
Did you not read the story, everything FAILED to do as expected( not buying) or to many complaints/ down falls.
Walmart looking out for thier bottom line. They will sell what ever sells !!
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
l stopped buying at walmarts, do not give discounts to seniors or vets!!!
Why should they prices are low enough!
I wish Walmart would not buy from China
I would like to go into Walmart and find no products from China . I will never give my money to them, if I pick something up from China I put it back .
Wal-Mart was bought by China it’s Chinese owned
Due to confusing leaders, I couldn’t find the products not available at Walmart anymore!
Thanks! Not a computer wizard!
So glad I do not shop at Walmart any more, when they stopped selling ammunition I was done with them.
I resisted buying groceries at walmart! but now they do save me money for sure.I used smaller stores and local but prices in these store have sky rocketed.No money to support them regularly anymore.
Do not ever believe the “in stock” because a lot of times they are for products they NEVER carried. I used to check online, but when I went to the store found that it was not there, no tags on the counters, not sold out, but something they didn’t ever sell. They just will say in stock to ANYthing you ask about. So 19 times out of 20, I leave Wal-Mart empty handed.
Walmart stories are a must for lots of low income folks, They can sell cheaper because of Quantity, if you don’t like buying stuff made in China, then don’t, they have lots of other stuff for sale that’s not made in China. I Even find stuff in Mom and Pop stores made in China
I purchased the hearing aids advertised through Walmart. They did not fit. I tried every way and nothing I did helped so I wrote to them. I’ve called them. My husband’s emailed them. He’s called them. We ask for a refund like they said they would give us and now it’s been weeks and we still have not gotten any word from them. I am still waiting for my refund had they said had we bought them through Amazon? The company could’ve helped us but because we bought them through Walmart they can’t help us. Don’t buy these hearing aids.
Great Value has several good items well rated by Consumer Reports.
I sure do wish you would bring back the cinnamon mini donuts!
Time for WalMart to quit selling merchandise tied into cable TV programmes. Our nearby store can’t move any Pioneer Woman or Joana Gaines Home Edit items until they get down to $1 on the clearance aisles. Nobody watches cable anymore and no one cares who these folks are so the items just take space on the shelves at their exorbitant pricing while more sensible products could be featured. Same goes with some of the kiddie crap. Exceptions could be made on items related to free over the air broadcast shows like Drew Barrymore or streaming services that have made their content available for free with online platforms like the BBC as these methods are seeing increase audiences.
WHAT ITEMS ARE NO LONGER SOLD AT WALMART? NO LIST PROVIDED
Not only do they not give discounts to Seniors and they charge you for groceries that were cancelled and claim that they don’t have record of the amount taken, in my case, it was over $200.00 Dollars of my EBT Cash app and will not refund it. Almost almost All I have for the months groceries. I’m 82 years old and disabled. They didn’t care if I had proof, their records did not show the transaction?? The Rich get Richer at anyone’s expense.
I’d like to know why they stopped selling plain donuts.
Bravo Walmart. It’s great to know that some business will listen to their conscience instead of their cash register.
Most of the items come from China,because of cheap labour.
