From the article:
The cactus was sold on Walmart’s website as an educational toy for about $26 and sings songs in English, Spanish and Polish.
But Tanner, who is Polish, said when she listened to the Polish lyrics, the cactus was singing about doing cocaine, drug abuse, suicide, depression and used profanities.
"It just so happens that I am Polish and when I started to listen to the songs and I heard the words," she said. "I was in shock. I thought what is this some kind of joke?"
The song is by Polish Rapper Cypis, who is reportedly unaware his song was used by the Chinese manufacturer of the children's toy.

- Freak_NL 5y agoKind of silly how that article doesn't show the actual button.
- tyingq 5y agoAhh. One that does: https://www.ksat.com/news/national/2020/08/07/trolls-doll-pulled-after-complaints-it-promotes-child-abuse/ https://www.ksat.com/news/national/2020/08/07/trolls-doll-pu... And it's definitely curious placement for a button that makes the doll giggle and gasp.
- ffhhj 5y agoActually seems like a good idea executed wrong. The placing of the button will make the doll giggle when it sits, probably that was the intention.
