Walmart pulls toy because it swears and sings about cocaine in Polish

[TaylorSwift 162,299]

An Ontario grandmother who bought an educational toy for her 15-month-old granddaughter was shocked when the dancing cactus started swearing and singing about doing cocaine.  "This is not what I ordered for my granddaughter." Ania Tanner told CTV News Toronto.

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's about taking five grams of cocaine and being alone … It's a very depressing song," Tanner said

The song is by Polish Rapper Cypis, who is reportedly unaware his song was used by the Chinese manufacturer of the children's toy and said he planned to take legal action against the Chinese company for using his song without permission. 

Walmart told CTV News Toronto they take this customer complaint concern seriously. "These items are sold by a third-party seller on our marketplace website. We are removing the items while we look into this complaint further,"

it was sold by a third-party seller and I guess Walmart is not able to check all items.
these lyrics are not so bad there are worse songs
"I'm not catching stars,
I'm lying down like a log,
I can't believe it, what's happening
I'm screaming like a hungry chicken,
Like a werewolf to the moon,
In my brain holes like a road,
in front of your house I'm melting like chocolate bar"

Lots of the slang/profanity in the song do not translate as well into English, making it seem more tame than it really is
