Imagine the surprise of a young mother in Ohio who purchased a toy for her daughter at the local toy store only to discover that hidden in the toy is an image of a young girl with demonic eyes who is in the process of slitting her wrists!
WHIO-TV is reporting that the toy was purchased by Nicole Allen from the Dollar Store on Linden Avenue in Kettering, Ohio. The packaging described it as a princess wand that lights up and plays music. However, when she brought it home, she quickly discovered that it didn’t play music but emitted a menacing laugh. Even worse, when a piece of foil came off the wand, it exposed an image of a girl cutting her wrists with a knife.
“I’m outraged over it,” Allen said. “I want to know how they think this is suitable for a child.”
The store owner, Amar Moustafa, said he bought the toy at a convention two years ago and it has been sitting on his shelf ever since. He can’t remember the name of the manufacturer and only knows that it was “made in China.”
Moustafa told a local news outlet that the mother should have inspected the toy more closely and made note of its name before she decided to purchase it for her daughter.
When news broke about the toy, another Dayton resident visited the store and found several more Evil Sticks containing the demonic image. However, before Moustafa could do anything about the toys, they quickly sold out.
As of yesterday, an Evil Stick was selling on eBay for $200.
