Play-Doh, the brand owned by Hasbro, is responding to consumer feedback about the extruder tool in its Play-Doh Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain playset. Adults say it looks like a penis/dildo. Play-Doh posted this on its Facebook page: “We …are in the process of updating all future Play-Doh products with a different tool. Should any consumer want a replacement extruder for this item, they can contact Hasbro’s Customer Service Department at 800-327-8264.”
Many people think it’s funny – the similarity – and are posting jokes like “Did this toy have a warning choking hazard sticker?” But most parents, at least those who are leaving comments on Facebook, say their kids don’t see it so they’re not going to return it. As Katie Lindsey wrote: “It looks like this (see photo) when it comes out though there’s nothing bad about it just a very crabby parent throwing a fit about nothing.”
