Massive 'Rampant Rabbit' Sex Toy Recall

LONDON - A rabbit-eared sex toy was has been recalled by British retailer Ann Summers out of concern it could injure an unsuspecting user.

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

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

But its manufacturer 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. (Reuters)
