It's another reminder not to believe everything you see on the internet.
A photo of an alcohol-themed Fisher-Price playset has been circulating online and drawing attention. It shows a toddler-size bar, with play bar stools, beer bottles and a pretend bar, CBS News reported.
Today.com reported that the photo, which was originated by brandng agency owner Adam Padilla, went viral after comedian Amiri King reposted it on Facebook.
CNet reported that some angry parents complained on Fisher-Price's Facebook and Twitter page and the company had to repeatedly reassure them that the toy was not real.
Fisher-Price issued the following in a statement:
In the last few weeks some comical, yet fictional, Fisher-Price products have been introduced -- perhaps the result of adult writers, designers and comedians that were Fisher-Price kids themselves. As a premiere childhood development company focused on helping families get the best possible start in life, we take our role in developing toys and products very seriously, but can appreciate the recent product-development suggestions as obvious love of the brand.
