Ann Summers toy recalled over fears it could 'detach during sex'

Ann Summers has issued a recall on a product over safety concerns about its use.

The retailer is known for selling a range of saucy items for various bedroom-related uses, from the relatively vanilla up to the more, let's say 'advanced'.

Among them are a certain kind of vibrator which is remotely operated, whether that's for better ease of use yourself, or having a partner controlling the levels.

But one toy which is designed for this purpose has now had a full recall issued, for a slightly alarming reason.

A recall notice says that 'the product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005'.

And let's be frank, if you're buying something with the intention of it being around your more delicate areas, then safety if pretty important.

But what's the issue?

This is that the toy, a lifelike dildo with a remote vibrating feature, poses 'a risk of injuries as it is possible for parts to detach during use'.

Let's face it, if things are falling off when you're doing the deed then that's probably not a good sign.

Now, Ann Summers has warned customers who purchased the item, called the 'Remote Rotating Dildo', to stop using it immediately.

They should also return it to the retailer either by taking it to a shop themselves, or by post.

Ann Summers is also offering a full refund, as well as 20 percent off another purchase for customers who bought the product, or they can choose to exchange it for something else.

And of course, it is also no longer available to buy either in store or via their online shop.

In a statement, Ann Summers said: “Customer safety and product quality are our highest priority.:

The dildo measures some 6.5 inches long, and was sold between September 2025 and March 2026.

But the Remote Rotating Dildo is not the only product currently affected by an Ann Summers recall.

Another product according to their website is the 'Thrusting Ring Rabbit Vibrator', which also has a mechanical issue which could result in 'detaching'.

This recall added that it 'presents a potential risk to anyone using the product as intended'.

Customers are again advised to stop using the product, and to return it to stores or via post, again for a full refund.

In both instances, Ann Summers also advised customers who bought these products that they do not need to have proof of purchase to get their money back.
