USATODAY.com: To the relief of advocates for the mentally ill, the Vermont Teddy Bear Co. said Thursday that its straitjacketed “Crazy For You” bears are sold out and that it will not make any more.
For weeks, advocates and Republican Gov. James Douglas have criticized the toy as insensitive. The $69.95 bear, marketed as a Valentine’s Day gift, came with a straitjacket and commitment papers.
The company said it had decided weeks ago that it would stop manufacturing the bears but would continue selling them through Valentine’s Day.

This strait jacket teddy should have never been called Crazy or been put in a straight jacket.
My grandad was mentally ill and i know that any person mentally ill would find this teddy disturbing and i dont think it helps their condition get better.
