Rampant Rabbit, er, um, uh, "Toy" recalled...

[jfulcer]

LONDON (Reuters) - A rabbit-eared "toy" was recalled on Thursday by British retailer Ann Summers out of concern it could cause injury to an unsuspecting user.
The lingerie and s** toy chain said a batch of about 150,000 of the top-selling "Rampant Rabbit" "toys" were found to have defective seals that might allow the spillage of tiny beads contained in the shaft.

The firm warned in newspaper advertisements and on its Web Site it was recalling those "toys" sold between May and September 2002 "in the interest of public safety."

"It is a precaution -- the chances of anything going wrong with it are actually minuscule," Ann Summers spokeswoman Rebecca Franklin told Reuters.

She said the company checked its stocks after a customer wrote to say she was unhappy with the quality of the seven-inch device, which contains pearly colored beads and is topped with two attachments resembling rabbit ears.

The Rampant Rabbit has been flying off store shelves since a character praised it in the hit U.S. television series "Sex and City."


Man, that show really touches on interesting topics, doesn't it???

Trust me, this thread is about to be vaporized by moderators who feel it should be censored. After all, no DISer would ever DREAM of owning one of these............RIGHT?????? ..........

I posted the same article earlier........and received the "usual" reprimand about the DIS being a "family" board .

AS PETE STATES IN HIS GUIDELINES, HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN CENSORSHIP!!!!!!!!!! ..........

Hey, all RED SOX fans, except DIS moderators, have to have a sense of humor.................or they'd cry every September ........

 

[Mermaid02]

True enough.... I still love my Red Sox!

 

[jfulcer]

But, EROS, I already censored the message. It's been pre-censored for DIS consumption.

that explains all those little beads that keep falling out of my pants leg

Oh man, it's like joke overload here...so many to pick from...so many that would probably get this one locked!

Thanks for the info on this important consumer alert!

jfulcer, you're the THIRD member to post this story over the last 24 hours. The first and second threads were summarily CENSORED. Your careful "pre-censoring" doesn't hide the simple fact that a sex-toy was recalled. No illustrations. No graphic content. I feel sorry for the moderators who felt that such content must be CENSORED.

If three DIS members, who do NOT appear to be on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List , decided to post this story on the CB, perhaps the PROBLEM isnt' with THEM............but with the censorship crew .........

 

[jfulcer]

Third time's the charm?

 

[ratsrule]

I just put a link to the article and it was yanked!

 

[CookieGVB]

Keep calling attention to it...

It's being recalled? And I had a slogan, too...


"Silly rabbit - Trix AREN'T for kids!"

Actually Eros, it was probably only one thread initially, but you know how those rabbits multiply!

Rabbit ears Who's hare-brained idea was that?

Although I'm sure if you adjusted them you got better reception....

 

[year2late]

This thread is still going!

Uugh-can you IMAGINE being the one in charge of physically collecting all recalled rabbits? yeech. I mean unless the majority of consumers have been using them as doorstops, paperweights, hood ornaments, door knockers or some other ornamental purpose only...
