Recall: Faulty uterus

I'm not sure what's more bizarre, the fact that these are available, or that the uterus has been recalled:

"In what must be the most bizarre product recall we’ve had the pleasure to be emailed about, DKE Toys has issued a statement informing us that the Pink Uterus from I Heart Guts‘ range of body part plush toys is a potential hazard to children…

The problem? Its cheeky purple ovaries are detachable. Sadly, this means it’s been withdrawn from sale. But rest assured you can still cuddle up with the brain (nice stem!) or, my favourite in anthropomorphic offal, the pancreas."



The guts gang in happier times, before uterus was recalled due to her detachable ovaries. Clockwise from left: uterus, pancreas, gall bladder and brain. All $18

    That's one strange configuration of internal organs! On the other hand...

    It's the detachable ovaries that do for us all in the end !!!

    Is it 'Una the Uterus', 'Larry The Liver' and 'Peter the *****' I wonder...

    How utterly ghastly. Not just bad taste but inaccurate enough to be a hazard in the hands of all junior doctors-to-be I'd have thought.

    whoa!...what the...?
    hmmm...i wonder what my 6 & 7 year old boys or my 5 year old daughter would think if we got them one of those for their birthday?
    thanks so much for sharing - that is good stuff.

    have a great week!
