Jacksonville company suspends plans to sell Caylee doll
ORLANDO, Fla. — A Jacksonville promotions company was going to sell a blonde-haired doll that bears the name of a slain Florida toddler as a "tribute" to the girl, but said on its Web site that those plans have now been suspended after reviewing the response from the media and the public.
"After reviewing the response to our media introduction of the Sunshine Caylee Doll and listening to the advice of the general public, we feel that is it best to suspend the launch of The Sunshine Caylee Doll," Jaime Salcedo, president of Showbiz Promotions, said on www.cayleedoll.com.
"While we still feel it is important to raise awareness and raise money to help stop this type of crime from being committed, we feel we can be more effective using more traditional methods."
Showbiz Promotions was going to sell its Caylee Sunshine doll, which is named for Caylee Anthony, for $29.99.
According to the statement, Salcedo said he had planned to donate "100 percent" of the proceeds from the doll to a charity.
Salcedo said the company wanted the doll to "be a tribute" to Caylee Anthony, whose body was found by a utility worker in December in woods near where she lived with her mother and grandparents. She was reported missing in July.
Casey Anthony, Caylee's mother, is charged with the girl's murder.
