the uterus: still unsafe at any speed

by violet blue on February 2, 2009

Even if that speed is in the form of a plushie doll; the lushly giving, or troublesome and cruel, or political battlefield — the lovely uterus, it seems is unsafe even if created to cuddle with. It is in this case, potentially harmful to children. I Heart Guts — a site I am absolutely thrilled to discover — has issued a recall of all their Plush Uterus Dolls due to the fact that, “Plush Uterus has failed a pull test. The ovaries may detach when pulled, becoming a potential small part choking hazard for young children.” I Heart Guts adds, “No one has been harmed. We have filed a safety recall notice with the U.S. Consumer Product and Safety Commission (CPSC). If the plush uterus is being used by a young child, please remove it immediately. If you gave the uterus as a gift, please forward this email to the recipient(s).”

Uterus recall. Ouch. (Thanks, Praemedia!)
