A human rights group is urging retailer Urban Outfitters to recall a tapestry the group says is reminiscent of Holocaust uniforms.

The Anti-Defamation League, a not-for-profit group that aims to stop anti-Semitism, published an open letter to the company on its website on Monday. 

The statement says the grey and white striped tapestry with a pink triangle being sold by the store is "eerily reminiscent" of clothing that some prisoners were forced to wear in Nazi concentration camps.

During the Holocaust, gay men and sex offenders were forced to wear pink triangle badges on their grey and white uniforms.

"Whether intentional or not, this gray and white striped pattern and pink triangle combination is deeply offensive and should not be mainstreamed into popular culture," Holocaust survivor and ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman said in the statement.

"We urge Urban Outfitters to immediately remove the product eerily reminiscent of clothing forced upon the victims of the Holocaust from their stores and online."

On Tuesday afternoon, the tapestry was no longer listed on the Urban Outfitters website.

The tapestry is not the first controversial product Urban Outfitters has been asked to remove.

In 2012, the ADL issued a letter to Urban Outfitters about a T-shirt associated with the yellow Star of David. 

Following the complaint, the Danish company that designed the shirt responded to the ADL, saying they'd never meant for the shirt to be sold.

In 2014, the store was asked to apologize for selling a red-splattered Kent State University sweatshirt. 

Many were angered that the shirt appeared to be referencing a 1970 shooting at Kent State that left four student protesters dead and nine others wounded.

Urban Outfitters ultimately pulled the product, and apologized for any offence the sweatshirt may have caused, claiming that it never meant to reference the shooting.

Also last year, Spain-based retailer Zara was under fire for selling a striped kids' shirt with a six-pointed gold star on the left side. 

The company said it was supposed to be a sheriff's shirt, but many commented that the shirt resembled the uniforms worn by Jewish concentration camp prisoners during the Holocaust.

The shirt was available on the retailer's website in many countries including Israel, but has since been removed from all of the pages.
