US toy giant Haslow has recalled 80,000 of its Gee Gee Gee-up Tiny Toddlers Talking Rocking Horses after reports of a serious fault in the manufacturing process at a Chinese factory.

The toys, manufactured by the Jiading Jiayou Jiayou Manufacturing Company, are supposed to say phrases such as "Let's go for a ride", "I like it when you brush me" and "I'm a little pony".

Unfortunately a bug in the Chinese-English translation software used by the company led to the company mistakenly building a Mocking Horse rather than a Rocking Horse. The Mocking Horse reportedly tells riders "Who do you think you are, the ****ing Lone Ranger?", "Get off my back, Fatso" and "I can't believe you spent $89.99 on me at Walmart!"

A spokesman for Haslow said that consumers should return their mocking horses for a full refund.
