A mum was left speechless after accidentally buying her five-year-old son a game from a children's toy aisle which jokingly suggested players kill themselves.
Jaymielee Stewart purchased the Bucket of Doom Toxic Edition from Home Bargains in Auldhouse, Glasgow, believing it to be a 'slime' game.
Her child had selected it from a section of the store containing soft toys last Sunday (January 17) not understanding it was an 'adult play game' containing references to suicide, drug use and genitalia.
Jaymielee said only online do the manufacturers make clear it is for people aged 17 and above - but added she is concerned for any teens with mental health problems unwittingly playing.

The mum - who preferred not to identify her son - told Glasgow Live: 'He was so excited to play it. When we got home he opened it right away.
“Luckily my son isn’t old enough to read or understand any of the words included on these cards, I couldn’t believe my eyes when he came running in asking me to read him a 'story'.

“After a quick glance at the cards -some suggesting jump of a cliff it will make your parents happy, or pour petrol on your head and light it, others suggesting taking cocaine - I thought surely not?”
The game is described as an adult 'black comedy story-telling game'.
Inside the bucket there are reading cards with phrases like 'dad’s d***k pic', 'doll that p****s and s***s itself', as well as references to suicide, genitalia and swearing.
It advises players to 'read out one of the doom cards to discover what sort of mess you’re in'.
It then says to 'take a look at your 8 useless object cards, these could be anything from a severed finger’'.
Other ‘objects’ are body parts and celebrities.
Jaymielee said: “My first thought was why on earth this was displayed in a baby and toddler section, but the more I looked at the vile things these cards suggested the more traumatic they became. '
She added: 'With child suicide at its highest right now I certainly don’t think a game like this should be on the shelves. It’s absolutely disgusting how this has passed reading standards.”

“The cards are just vile. Yes possibly it’s okay as an over 18 game, but to have it displayed in a children’s section and then have the audacity to say it’s suitable for 17 year olds is beyond me.
“Personally, even if this was advertised in an adult section it’s not something I think is suitable for a 17 year old. I just hope no teenagers with mental health have bought this game.'
“Even the staff thought it was just a slime game,' she added. 'The cashier said while I was buying it 'oh you’re brave, that slime gets everywhere'.
“I’m lost for words. It should be removed from the shelves altogether and the age restriction needs to be reconsidered.”
A spokeswoman for Big Potato, the company behind the Bucket of Doom game, told Glasgow Live: 'At Big Potato we specialise in games that are easy to pick up and hard to put down.
'We’ve got adult games, family games and kids games. Our 17+ adult party game Bucket Of Doom is definitely not one of the latter! We’re more than happy to suggest something more age appropriate.'
