Hasbro removing Trolls doll from stores after complaints of an inappropriately placed button - CBS News

Toymaker Hasbro says it is removing a Trolls doll from store shelves after people complained that a button on the doll is inappropriately placed under its skirt.

The decision comes after an online petition was created urging stores to remove the "Trolls World Tour Giggle and Sing Poppy" doll. .

In a statement to CBS News, Julie Duffy, senior vice president of global communications at Hasbro, said: "This feature was designed to react when the doll was seated, but we recognize the placement of the sensor may be perceived as inappropriate.".

"Trolls World Tour" premiered for on-demand video streaming in April when most of the world was in quarantine, and Universal announced that it had the biggest opening day and weekend for a digital title, according to Variety.
