PARENTS expect their kids’ toys to be educational and use family friendly language.
But these mums and dads were in for a shock when they discovered these toys appeared to have potty mouths.
From a seemingly sweary hatchimal to an apparently offensive doll – these items have been banished from the play room.
Here are six of the toys that parents have claimed are not suitable for their kids.
POTTY MOUTH
In October 2017, mum Rachael Horton was stunned to hear a doll given to her daughter Aria for her birthday appear to swear.
Rachael claims the £34 doll said “you b****” and became concerned that two-year-old Aria would start copying the doll.
The mum explained: ““When we took the doll out of the box and started playing with it, I couldn’t believe what we heard.
“She’s supposed to say “Mama” and “Papa” but instead she seems to be saying, ‘you b****’.
The mum says she got in touch with Argos to complain and was told she could return and exchange the doll.
BAD CRACK
Hatchimals were the must-have toys of last Christmas with millions being sold across the country.
But some mums and dads wondered if they had a dark side after claiming the toys were heard saying “f**k me”.
Sarah and Nick Galego, from Victoria, Canada, bought the toy for their six-year-old son for Christmas.
But as it hatched from its egg, the couple claim they heard it mutter the rude words and caught the crucial moment on camera.
In response to the claims, Spin Master, who make the toys said they make random sounds and are not programmed to swear.
IN THE DOGHOUSE
Grandparents Stuart and Diana Gavenell were left shocked by a musical alphabet dog toy that appeared to shut the f-word at their granddaughter Iris.
The toy, £17 from Boots, is designed to teach young children the alphabet and phonics, in addition to three educational songs.
But when it was pulled from the box they noticed a song that is supposed to say “One, two, chew on a shoe, three, four, bark at the door”, they say sounds like “f*** at the door”.
The couple said their daughter Jessica, who lives in Wallingford, Oxon, has confiscated the toy so that Iris doesn’t learn the swear word.
TOYS R CUSS
Mum Samantha Nash was worried left her baby girl’s first word might be ‘f***’ after she bought a toy that sounds like it is swearing.
The 22-year-old, bought the Little Tikes ‘My First Controller’ from Asda for baby Amelia-Rose to help her learn to count.
But she was stunned when she heard the £6 gadget say what sounded like the ‘F word’.
While playing with it, Amelia-Rose had accidentally set the toy in French mode and when she pressed the number five – cinq – it sounded like the F-bomb.
Little Tykes, who make th toy said: ““This product is compliant with all tests and standards and the number five button is in fact saying ‘cinq’ which is five in French.”
HORROR SHOW
Another mum was also horrified to discover a swear word hidden in a child’s new toy bought by her sons with their pocket money from supermarket giant Sainsbury’s.
Melissa Smith, from Bridgnorth, Shrops, feared her sons will repeat the bad language they learnt in front of friends at their Catholic School.
It’s after Louis, six, and Theo, four, spent the evening happily playing with their new velcro catch toy – with their mum unaware of the foul language that was hidden underneath the plastic casing.
It was until the next day when Melissa found it already broken in her garden – and was disgusted to discover what was hidden underneath.
The £3 toy, from Sainsbury’s Bridgnorth store, revealed a cartoon image of a boy ready to lob a pile of poo, along with the caption ‘sh*thead’.
A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “We’re very sorry for any offense caused and are investigating the issue with our supplier.”
TOY TROUBLE
Parents Marcha and Garfield Black claim a Peppa Pig tablet taught their three-year-old to swear – because it says “f*** you” when he does maths puzzles.
They were left fuming after well-mannered Amari blurted out the foul phrase he picked up from his flash toy.
The couple bought the Peppa Pig’s First Discovery Tablet from Argos hoping it would help his learning – which has been held back by bone marrow deficiency and rickets.
But instead they found him repeating the swear word, which the device, produced by Inspiration Works UK Ltd, appears to speak during an “odd one out” game included in the maths puzzles.
Argos apologised for the error and said they would carry out an investigation.
A spokeswoman for Argos said: “As a responsible family retailer we are concerned to learn of Mr and Mrs Black’s concerns regarding the Peppa Pig toy.
“We apologise for any distress this may have caused.”
