Lego apologises for offensive term in toy description

Lego has apologised for unveiling a new toy it described as a “window-licker” after mental health charities objected to the “highly offensive term”.

The toy, called Turg, was described on Lego’s website as looking like “an experiment that’s gone very, very wrong”.

The description read: “Part frog, part chicken, part back-of-the-bus window-licker, this Mixel has the longest tongue of them all.”
