Shocked dad slams Tesco after spotting adult sex toys at ‘child eye level’
A dad says he was "disturbed" after he spotted adult sex toys on show at "child-eye level" in Tesco.
Mark was shopping for protein powder in Tesco Extra, Hull, on Friday (September 28) when he saw rampant rabbits and vibrators next to the vitamins.
The 51-year-old said he was "shocked" and concerned as they were placed on the fourth shelf from the ground, and could easily be seen by children.
An image of the products shows a suction stimulator priced at £29.50 and a vibrator marked at £11.
A ten-function rabbit vibrator costs £20 or £25 with a Tesco Clubcard.
"I almost stuck them all in my trolley and took them to the staff at the front of the shop because I was so concerned,” Mark, from Hull, told NeedToKnow.
"I was shocked. They were by the vitamins and nicotine.
"I don't expect to see that in my supermarket when I'm doing my food shop.
"It's a random place to sell that stuff. You expect that in an adult shop like Ann Summers and you wouldn't take your kids in there.
“I'm in shock that children are exposed to it.
"It's concerning for a lot of parents.
"I want them to be removed from all stores.
"Where does it stop? Will they start selling kinkier stuff?
"Lube and condoms have been in shops for a long time. Are they testing the water to see how far they can go?
"It must be embarrassing to buy one. They're in security cases so you'd have to hand it to a member of staff to take it off.
“I can't imagine they're selling many.
"It's about what's right and what's wrong for children.
"Pictures speak a thousand words to children and these things can stick in their minds for a long time.
"I'm not against people having those things. There's a time and place for that type of stuff."
The dad-of-two claims he made a complaint online in which he said he would personally remove the items.
