A mannequin manufacturer is attaching warning stickers to its shop dummies - after a man mistook one for a sex doll and got his penis stuck.
The 31-year-old - who cannot be named for legal reasons - bought the female bust from the Displaysense online store for £38. But he got more than he bargained for when he trapped his manhood inside a 24mm hole designed for a display stand.
The pervert from Doncaster, South Yorks, was left in a tight situation and feared he may have had to call out the fire service to help free him.
Luckily, he managed to waddle into his kitchen with the plastic dummy still attached, grab a pair of scissors and release himself-giving new meaning to the phrase 'I'm free!'
Rather than keeping quiet about the embarrassing episode though, the fuming punter then rang up Displaysense to COMPLAIN.
The company's sales team were forced to stifle their laughter as the man blasted the product's "user friendliness" and demanded a refund.
Steve Whittle, marketing manager, said they were now considering issuing the mannequins-used by a number of high street stores-with warnings to prevent any repeat.
He said: "These busts are for display purposes only and no-where on the website or in the products packaging does it state that they should be used for adult means.
"During the phone call the gentleman in question demanded a refund on the now dismantled female bust at which point the refund request was politely refused.
"He had purchased the display bust by accident after mistaking it for an adult toy.
"Due to the durability of the display bust, he became concerned that the fire brigade would need to be called to liberate him.
"But thankfully, a pair of heavy duty scissors were able to cut apart the female bust to release him and relieve his delicate area.
"After freeing himself, he made an angry call to us to complain about the user friendliness of the female bust and that it was not what he had ordered.
"The fact that one of our display busts has been used in an unusual fashion has stunned and embarrassed the entire sales team.
"We've just added these busts to our range and we normally expect some initial teething problems but not in our 30 years of business have we experienced such an incident.
"We are now going to place a warning on the new display bust section to prevent such ludicrous situations from happening again.
"It's so bizarre that we have to warn people that our mannequins are for display use only and not for recreational use."
