discontinued
Pulled from shelves
Discontinued describes something that is no longer being made, sold, or provided.
Manufacturers discontinue products that aren't selling well or that have been replaced by newer versions; services get discontinued when they're no longer viable.
They discontinued my favorite shampoo, so now I have to find a new one.
The word often appears in retail contexts where customers learn a desired item is simply no longer available.
