Dr Seuss sells 1.2 million books the week after it was announced that 6 books were being pulled.

The story doesn't list how many copies the books that are being pulled sold, but Cat in the Hat sold more than 100 K copies after selling 17 K the week before.
I guess the poor selling narrative needs to be re-spun to account for this.
