Amazon has removed an Oscar Pistorius Halloween costume and a "novelty" face mask from sale following an angry backlash.
The online retail giant removed the costume, which featured the words "Blade Gunner" and was promoted as "guaranteed to cause controversy", on Wednesday.
Amazon received further criticism for allowing a Pistorius "stag party" face mask of the athlete to remain for sale on the site on Thursday.
After being contacted by the Standard, Amazon also removed the mask from its website.
Pistorius was jailed in 2014 for fatally shooting his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his home in Pretoria, South Africa.
The original £26.10 costume included a "top, shorts, boot covers and knee pads". It did not come with the sunglasses or gun pictured but included boot covers to "create the image you have false legs".
The face mask, sold by Depth Charge Design Ltd, is priced at £1.99 and "large bulk orders" are encouraged for those wanting more than one.
Online shopper Lisa Thornton wrote: "Seriously? I'm a bit gobsmacked this is even a real thing. It's awful. If someone turned up to my party dressed like that I'd turf them out."
Another commented: "This is completely tasteless - What does it even have to do with Halloween?"
One Twitter user, Vivi Rivi, asked: "Why are you not checking what is sold on your site? How can extreme violence against women ever be a joke or a marketing opportunity?
Pistorius - nicknamed the 'Blade Runner' - became famous around the world for his performance at the London 2012 Paralympics, in which he reached the semi-finals of the 200m sprint.
A year on, Pistorius faced trial for shooting his girlfriend Steenkamp, dead at his home in Pretoria, South Africa. She had been locked in the bathroom when Pistorius fired a handgun four times through the bathroom door.
He maintained his innocence throughout the trial, claiming he thought he was shooting an intruder. Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide and a firearm-related charge.
The culpable homicide verdict was later replaced with a murder conviction after prosecutors appealed. He was sentenced to six years in prison but could be released after serving just three years.
A spokesman for Amazon said: All Marketplace sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don't will be subject to action, including potential removal of their account. The [costume] is no longer available."
Amazon later confirmed it had removed the mask from sale.
