Ohio mom upset over sign in Target store's toy section

An Ohio mother is calling out Target because she is upset over a sign she saw in a Cleveland-area store’s toy section.

The sign read “Building Sets” and “Girls’ Building Sets”.

Abi Bechtel snapped a picture, and her tweet has received thousands of retweets and comments.

“It makes it seem like it's so normal for building sets to be for boys, and oh by the way, girls can build stuff too we guess," Bechtel said.

Target responded with a statement to the Huffington Post saying guests prefer "a variety of indicators that can help inform and guide their shopping trip".
