Hasbro offering to replace phallic tool

Hasbro, the Pawtucket-based toy company, is now doing damage control over the extruder tool in its Play-Doh Cake Mountain toy.

After complains started rolling in, Hasbro has offered to replace the tool with another that is not as phallic. The two-piece syringe-like tool, which includes a tube with corkscrew-type ridges around the outside and a dome-shaped top with a hole at the tip, can be used to squeeze Play-Doh to look like decorative cake frosting.

Hasbro Inc. has received thousands of comments on the Play-Doh Facebook page pointing out the obvious.

Hasbro said in a statement posted on the page Tuesday: "We are in the process of updating all future Play-Doh products with a different tool."
