- Parental Advisory Labels
The Parental Advisory program is a voluntary program created and administered by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Under the Parental Advisory program, individual record companies, working with their artists, decide which of their releases should be labeled with a Parental Advisory Label. Recordings identified with the Parental Advisory Label may contain strong language or depictions of violence, sex or substance abuse. Wal-Mart Stores, Sam's Club and Walmart.com (collectively "Wal-Mart") do not carry recordings designated with the Parental Advisory Label.
Edited Versions
Sometimes, record companies will release an edited version of a recording designated with the Parental Advisory Label. Such recordings are identified with an Edited notice which alerts customers that the recording has been modified by the record company from the original, and does not include all of the same content contained in the labeled version. The use of the Edited notice does not necessarily mean that all content that all listeners might find objectionable has been removed from the recording. Wal-Mart carries certain recordings designated as Edited and marks these recordings as such on the applicable album or item page of the Walmart.com website
Other
Wal-Mart does not display album or song titles that contain profanity on the Walmart.com website. Wal-Mart does not edit recordings or 30-second sample clips offered in stores or on the Walmart.com website. Wal-Mart selects 30-second sample clips such that only clips that do not contain profanity are made available to customers. However, other portions of the recordings may contain profanity, and the 30-second sample clips or the recording as a whole may be deemed by some customers to be offensive, indecent or objectionable. Occasionally, Wal-Mart may refuse to stock music merchandise that may not seem appropriate. However, Wal-Mart may carry some recordings that some customers might find offensive, indecent or objectionable. Parents are always encouraged to review the merchandise their children purchase from Wal-Mart to ensure it meets their own standards.
