This is what happens when The Big O becomes The Big Uh-Oh. 

Ann Summers, well-known suppliers of goods designed to make your downtime more sexy, appear to have overlooked something in the manufacture of one of their ‘Lady’s little helpers’. 

This snap, posted to image-sharing site Imgur today by pitcairn78, shows a recall notice posted in the window of an Ann Summers store, calling for the return of any ‘Ultimate O Rechargeable Vibrator’ bought on or before May24th 2013.

If you can suffer the shame of returning your used, but possibly faulty, vibrator, the store is promising a full return and 20% off your next purchase. 

As per the website description on Ann Summers, the Ultimate O is something of a revelation…

 

"I'd always struggled to reach orgasm until now. Thank you!"

For the first time ever we've teamed up with gynaecology experts to develop the ultimate clitoral stimulator. Made from beautifully smooth premium silicone, the Ultimate O is designed to encompass and stimulate the entire length and all sides of the outer clitoral area. The two side prongs fully surround the clitoral hood, and the middle 'finger' targets the exposed clitoris. There's plenty to play around with too, as it comes with several vibrating settings and intensities to choose from, so you can find your perfect rhythm. It's also incredibly easy to use as all the vibrations are controlled by a single LED button at the base. And it's completely rechargeable too, so no need for batteries!

The Ultimate O is also whisper quiet, totally body-safe, and comes with a recharging cable and plug.

 

Shame it’s gone off the shelves, there did seem to be quite the buzz about this one.

Sorry. We couldn’t help it.
