Mum claims Peppa Pig toy taught her toddler to swear

A mother claims her toddler daughter learnt ‘how to swear like a trooper’ after playing with a Peppa Pig toy.

Two year old Lillie-May Barber reportedly started dropping the F-bomb after playing with the Peppa Pig Fun And Learn Tablet.

The toddler’s mum Laura Burroughs, 23 told Wales News Service that she thought it was Lillie’s dad had taught her the swear word.

She said: “She has been swearing ever since she started playing it – she has learned it off the toy and says it quite often.

‘I was accusing her dad of teaching her to swear but it was only when I tried out the tablet that I found one of the activities says ‘find the odd one out’ – but it sounds like “f*** you, odd one out.”‘

The family, from south Wales, purchased the popular toy from a local Argos store to help teach Lillie-May more about the alphabet and numbers before she is due to start school.

A spokesman for Argos said: ‘As a responsible family retailer we have robust processes in place to ensure that the toys we sell are safe and appropriate for children.

"We take Miss Burroughs’ concerns regarding the Peppa Pig toy very seriously, and sincerely apologise for any distress this may have caused.

"We are trying to make contact with the customer directly, and are working with the manufacturer to investigate as a matter of urgency."
