I Heart Guts is sad to inform you that we have issued a voluntary recall for one of our products, the Uterus Plush. For those of you who noticed our impromptu hysterectomy, here’s the story: In an effort to make sure our toys are safe for all ages, the uterus plush failed a child toy safety standards test — basically, if you pull too hard on the fallopian tubes, the ovary pops off, creating a potential choking hazard for small children. While we figured a plush uterus might not be of great interest to kids — we designed it as a collectible plush for adults and marked them for ages 3 and up — we want to be absolutely sure no harm comes from playing with our guts. If the uterus plush is within the grasp of a child, please remove it immediately and follow our instructions for returning the plush toy. On the bright side, the rest of our plush lineup meets U.S. and European safety standards for children’s toys. The uterus will be made available on our website for adults only — it is a sex organ after all — who consent to keep it away from kids. A new kid-safe uterus will be available in 2009 for those of you with kids who must have a plushie uterus. In the meantime, please refrain from swallowing any ovaries.
I Heart Guts!

Bahahaha!!! I burst out laughing when I read this.

we should have them back on the site sometime next week, we just have to sew a bunch of “adults only” labels on them first!

o0oo this is my first time hearing about uterus plushies and they just have to be recalled! :sigh: i really want one. i can’t wait for the child-friendly ones for my daughter so we can reminisce of her womby days, but in the mean time i want my adult one.

I’m hoping these go back up soon. I came across these on accident today and want the uterus so badly! I’m pretty sure it would make periods a thousand times less annoying if I had a smiley uterus to laugh at!

Excuse me but I want to see a plush pair of testicles or a prostate. Otherwise you are looking at a case of positive discrimination here.

Next week my father is having his prostate removed due to cancer. I wanted to get him a replacement as a joke, but there is no stuffed prostate available on the internet…anywhere. Having the prostate removed is a very common surgery, and I think there would be a market for a plush prostate…so please, let me give my dad another prostate!
December 15, 2009 at 5:49 pm
update: plush prostate and testicles available march 2010! accompanied by plush ovary and mammary glands!
March 9, 2009 at 3:02 am
we’re working on plush testicles and prostate right now. would a pair of balls — kinda like the fuzzy dice you’d hang from your rearview — be better than one big one? please advise…

When can we expect the new uteri? I can’t waittttt 🙂
March 11, 2009 at 9:48 pm
hmmm, it’s probably going to be a while, sadly. we need to get a new sample made, then those have to get tested, then they have to get made. it’s a bummer, i know.
