Kmart apologises for R-rated description on children's DVD

Kmart has moved quickly to remove an inappropriate product description targeted towards young girls.

A Shopkins DVD told potential buyers, during their travels the characters “discover a lot of sex and drugs along the way”.

“Watch them enjoy their crazy adventure in Europe,” the description, which has since been taken down, read.
