"Call me old-fashioned but I believe that a child's first words should be mum or dad, or maybe please and thank you, but not four-letter swear words," said Joe McManus.
A spokesman for Asda, where the toy was purchased, and the Little Tikes toys responded, saying: "We sold 20,000 of these products last year and this is the first complaint we've had of this nature."
