USA Today reports the toy company received complaints earlier this year about the toy’s phallic design and has been offering replacement products ever since. However the company drew more attention to the issue Tuesday when they released a statement on Facebook.

“We have heard some consumer feedback about the extruder tool in the Play-Doh Cake Mountain playset, and we are in the process of updating all future Play-Doh products with a different tool. Should any consumer want a replacement extruder for this item, they can contact Hasbro Consumer Care via email, online chat or telephone.”
