So it's a brown couch? That doesn't seem like it'd be a translation mistake, because negro means black. More likely someone at the factory thought it'd be funny.
My couch is white. Like me. I like my couches like I like my women - lightweight and easy to fit through a doorway.

The sofa at home is blue.
Heh, wow. Good one there.
The label was probably made by someone in China who just barely knows English, and they just quick Googled for "brown" and that was a word they found.
Maybe they've got other fun colors:
Colon-pink
Grangrene-green
Corpse-gray
And damn, CNN's got long ads before their videos play.

My couch is yellow, and has some dents and chinks in the frame.
Sometimes there's g00k under the cushions that I need to clean out.
It's also leather so when it's nippy in the room, the couch tends to be cold.

That video is so horribly setup & fake (real content, fake actors).
The naive little girl didn't know the word, so she took the label and asked her mother what it was? She picked THAT word? Never mind the fact it says "description" "gross weight" "net weight" (which are all big words for a 7 year old), she just naturally gravitated towards "nig*er-brown" and asked her mother what it was? She intrinsically knew it was wrong without prior exposure?
Daughter came to the kitchen afterwards? The mother was in the kitchen just letting new stuff be delivered and didn't even take a glance at them setting it up?
Firsthand lesson in racism?! She wouldn't have even known the difference. It is a word and she was likely trained to act for the camera. Most 7 year olds I know are too busy crapping themselves to pick out words with taboo meaning.

That's a good observation. One theory - she saw a word she recognized (brown) and wondered what the word next to it meant.
Who knows.
