A dancing cactus toy has been pulled from Walmart after a customer discovered it raps about cocaine in Polish.

The electronic toy, which retails for around $30 (£22), can sing 120 songs in English, Spanish and Polish while dancing to a beat.

It can also mimic sounds made by its owners and perform a dance to the beat of what it hears.

Walmart has discontinued sale of the toy after a customer, Ania Tanner, complained that one of the Polish songs it sings contains lyrics about doing cocaine, drug abuse, suicide and depression.

“This toy uses swear words. This is not what I ordered for my granddaughter,” Tanner, who is Polish, told CTV News.

“When I started to listen to the songs and I heard the words, I was in shock. I thought, ‘what is this, some kind of joke?’”

The song, called “Gdzie Jest Biały Węgorz? (Zejście)”, is by polish rapper Cypis. According to a translation of the lyrics, lines include the words: “I only have one thing on my mind, five grams of coke [cocaine].”

In a statement to CTV News, Walmart said: “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.”

A representative for the rapper told The Guardian he had “no idea” the song is being used in a children’s toy and that he is “disgusted”.

It is not the first time a dancing cactus toy has prompted a complaint.

In July, Taiwan News reported that a Polish woman living in Taichung had purchased the toy for her baby, only to discover it sang the same Cypis song.
