'Rampant Rabbit' Sex Toys Recalled in Safety Scare
Thu Sep 26,11:25 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - A rabbit-eared sex toy was recalled on Thursday by British retailer Ann Summers out of concern it could cause injury to an unsuspecting user.

The lingerie and sex toy chain said a batch of about 150,000 of the top-selling "Rampant Rabbit" vibrators were found to have defective seals that might allow the spillage of tiny beads contained in the shaft.

The firm warned in newspaper advertisements and on its Web Site it was recalling those vibrators sold between May and September 2002 "in the interest of public safety."

"It is a precaution -- the chances of anything going wrong with it are actually minuscule," Ann Summers spokeswoman Rebecca Franklin told Reuters.

She said the company checked its stocks after a customer wrote to say she was unhappy with the quality of the seven-inch device, which contains pearly colored beads and is topped with two attachments resembling rabbit ears.

The Rampant Rabbit has been flying off store shelves since a character praised it in the hit U.S. television series "Sex and City."

this story gives a whole new meaning to the saying, "let's fuck like rabbits"

They may be recalling them, but they're not getting mine back

― C J (C J), Friday, 27 September 2002 07:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Bloody hell, my mate just bought one of them (she says it's great, highly recommended it) better go email her!

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 27 September 2002 07:47 (twenty-three years ago)

They dont have teeth, just ickle ears......not that I know a lot about it or anything.....

The title of John Updike's new novel?

― Alan (Alan), Friday, 27 September 2002 08:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I wish they would recall Updike.

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 27 September 2002 12:55 (twenty-three years ago)

He's too old to ask for a refund on, though.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 27 September 2002 12:58 (twenty-three years ago)

URgh, I just had a mental image of frustrated women holding a vibrating John Updike between their legs.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 27 September 2002 13:02 (twenty-three years ago)

This bunny pets you.

― j.lu (j.lu), Friday, 27 September 2002 13:09 (twenty-three years ago)

This thread has mutated to become a discussion of the litereary figure John Updike being shoved in a vagina while he vibrates. I am pleased.

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Friday, 27 September 2002 13:54 (twenty-three years ago)

It could be worse, it could be Norman Mailer.

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 27 September 2002 14:00 (twenty-three years ago)

this story gives a whole new meaning to the saying, "let's fuck like rabbits"

Not to mention "Roger Rabbit."

― j.lu (j.lu), Friday, 27 September 2002 14:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Im more concerned with the mental image of a customer calling in a complaint. I couldn't imagine getting a help desk phone call of someing trying to explain that the bunny just doesnt do it for her.

well surely a vibrator co. wd have appropriate training? or you think the ppl in the offices there are forever yelling "it does WHAT?!!"

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 27 September 2002 14:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Perhaps this is what Anya was afraid of all this time.

― RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 27 September 2002 14:19 (twenty-three years ago)

i thought the beads were an added bonus.

― Queen G (Queeng), Friday, 27 September 2002 14:57 (twenty-three years ago)

The beads are a really neat design trick, as their rolling and crunching gives the overall rotating motion of the base an unpredictable and more naturally jerky feel.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 27 September 2002 15:07 (twenty-three years ago)

This begs the question.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 September 2002 15:13 (twenty-three years ago)

It certainly does, but I'm not going to be the one to ask it!

― C J (C J), Friday, 27 September 2002 15:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, right, the shocking answer to that question is that I used a dildo on someone, yes, yes, how depraved and unusual! Then I immediately emailed Tom to let him know about this great design innovation (for incorporation into his limited-edition hand-made models).

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 27 September 2002 15:44 (twenty-three years ago)

A dildo? You sick fuck.

― Sam (chirombo), Friday, 27 September 2002 15:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I know, isn't it just scandalous?

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 27 September 2002 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

You can just sense Nabisco's perviness.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 September 2002 16:12 (twenty-three years ago)

haha yeah like THIS is news.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 September 2002 16:18 (twenty-three years ago)

a rabbit fucks up a beaver....

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 27 September 2002 16:40 (twenty-three years ago)

...silly rabbit.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 27 September 2002 16:40 (twenty-three years ago)

They may be recalling them, but they're not getting mine back

"They can take away my vibrator when they pry it out of my cold dead...uhhh..."

― j.lu (j.lu), Friday, 27 September 2002 17:01 (twenty-three years ago)

EURGH.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 27 September 2002 17:03 (twenty-three years ago)

I like to imagine SAdam Hussein using a George W. Bush vibrator
