OOPS! Did Play-Doh just ruin Christmas?

Hasbro is in major damage control after releasing a toy part that looks very much like a penis.

 

 

Back in November, parents who bought the Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain playset complained online that the plastic icing topper (or extruder) didn't look child-friendly.

Rather than respond on social media to the conces, Hasbro sent parents less phallic-like replacement parts.

The toy manufacturer's low-key response ensure the gaffe stayed out of the media, Uproxx reports.

However, in a bungled attempt at removing any trace of the offending accessory from its Facebook page over Christmas, Hasbro attracted lots of unintended publicity.

The angry reaction has varied but one parent even suggested Hasbro had 'ruined Christmas.”

 

 

 

 

The playset, which retails in Australia for about $40, comes with a bottom cake tier, cake machine with cake stand and a textured roller, among other items.

Recommended for children three and over, the 2-in-1 playset lets kids 'make amazing pretend layer cakes with the cake press.”
