Someone fell asleep at the wheel here and will probably be looking for a new job in the new year. You know how the public reacts to these sorts of things. They were doing well until they tried to remove all history of the thing.
Oops!
Hasbro is in major damage control after releasing a toy part that looks very much like a penis.
Attachment 52129
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 concerns, 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.
