A mother recently bought a talking Barbie doll that reportedly blurted out the phrase, "what the f***?"

Talina Evans wanted to purchase a talking Barbie doll as a treat for her seven-year-old daughter Demileigh, but to her surprise the doll blurted out the swearing words, the Daily Star reported.

Evans said she told her daughter that the doll had been bad and was swearing so it had to go.

Demileigh was disappointed but she understood that it was wrong to swear so that is why they have taken it off her now, she further added.

A spokesperson for Mattel confirmed that an investigation has been launched. However, the phrase was meant to be "Off the hook" but the muffled sound made it sound more obscene.
