WATCH: Kmart Pulls Racy Kid's Underwear From Shelves

Kmart has pulled a line of cheeky panties emblazoned with slogans like "Call Me," "Email Me" and "I

Kmart maintains the underwear was aimed at older women and not "juniors," even though the panties were stocked as part of the company's Girl Xpress line, which, obvs, is aimed at younger girls.

"Due to the fact that it has been brought to our attention that there may be some concerns with the item, we have decided to remove it from our stores," the spokeswoman said.
