Toys R Us has pulled its Breaking Bad dolls from shelves.
The company made the decision to put the toys in “indefinite sabbatical” following a petition from concerned Florida mother Susan Myers. The petition received the 9,300 signatures it requested.
“[Toys R Us’] decision to sell a Breaking Bad doll, complete with a detachable sack of cash and a bag of meth, alongside children’s toys is a dangerous deviation from their family friendly values,” said Myers in the petition.
Toys R Us said that the Breaking Bad dolls were sold in limited quantity and they were only available in the adult-action-figure area of the store. Myers’ petition was followed by a petition to bring the dolls back to stores.
Manhattan Beach’s Daniel Pickett started the petition, which said that it is each parent’s responsibility to decide what toys their children have access to. The petition has more than 5,000 signatures.
It’s safe to say these dolls will not be among this year’s hottest Christmas toys.
