"But out of respect for the collaboration and Justin Bieber, we have removed the garments from selling," stated a company spokesperson.
Bieber dragged the Swedish fashion brand in his Instagram stories on Monday and urged all 270 million of his followers not to buy the merch.
"THE H&M MERCH THEY MADE OF ME IS TRASH AND I DIDN’T APPROVE IT. DON’T BUY IT," he said.
The collection feature's the "Peaches" singer's face printed on products like sweater dresses, t-shirts and tote bags, all of which are no longer available on H&M's site.
If you want approved Bieber products, look no further than the celebrity's own creations.
Besides selling his official merch on his website, the Stratford, Ontario-born performer also launched his own clothing line called Drew House in 2019.
