Just speculation, but in the past TMNT often gets labled different things in different counties, depending on local stigmas. I know for a fact in the 80s and 90s, the UK had some reeeeeally weeeeird censorship over TMNT, even calling the series "Teenaged Mutant Hero Turtles." And even weirder censorship in the cartoon itself.
Combined with the hot water Hasbro have gotten themselves into over names that are acceptible here (Spastic, Slag), that have illogically become extremely offensive over there, may be setting an example for other toy companies to be more cautious.

These may have something to do with it.
