Warning: unsafe organs

Some of you may already know about the intriguing American company I Heart Guts!, who make lovely little plush dolls of the internal organs of the human body. Their range can be found at iheartguts.com, and they are adorable little pieces of practical biology.

However, I Heart Guts! have had a bit of trouble with one of their products recently, as their latest offering - the uterus plush - has been withdrawn from the market.

In their own words: “Basically, if you pull too hard on the fallopian tubes, the ovary pops off, creating a potential choking hazard for small children. If the uterus plush is within the grasp of a child, please remove it immediately.” Good advice.

A new kid-safe uterus will be released this year. The company has asked the public until then to “refrain from swallowing any ovaries.”
