(CNN) The Cracker Barrel restaurant chain is apologizing after guests saw a decoration that looked like a noose hanging from the ceiling of a Connecticut location. It was spotted on November 7 among the antique tools, boxes, utensils and other decorations at a restaurant in East Windsor, Connecticut, and customers posted photos and videos on social media. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store media relations told CNN that it was the cord of an old electric soldering iron that had been in the restaurant for years. "The décor item -- an antique soldering iron with an original wrapped cord -- in our East Windsor store should have been noticed and corrected before ever being displayed, and it has since been removed," the company said in an email. The company said it apologized to the guest who pointed it out and thanked them for doing so.
