1998 Recalled Talking Po Hasbro Playskool Teletubbies - Tested.
Oct 25th, 1998 DALLAS - One of the hot toys for the holidays is in hot water. A small chain of toy stores has yanked Teletubby Po from its shelves after complaints that it says "fatty, fatty" and "f-----t."
These were among the allegations that finally got this particular talking Teletubby recalled.
While the majority of people who were familiar with the television program did not hear such words, there were enough people out there that claimed they did to warrant the pulling of this doll.
