Outrage as Toy Company Creates 'Crystal Meth Lab' for Children with Breaking Bad Play Sets

Outrage as toy company creates 'crystal meth lab' for children with Breaking Bad play sets

• 500-part set has all the drugs paraphernalia used in hit American series

• Lego refused to sanction or endorse the toy, which was made by independent company Citizen Brick

• Twitter users blasted £160 toy as an inappropriate plaything

Children can now build their own drug dens with a shocking new play kit inspired by TV show Breaking Bad.

The sell-out £160 kit, branded 'SuperLab', lets any child or adult recreate Walter White's notorious crystal meth lab.

Complete with protective masks, drug paraphernalia, figurines and a version of the car from the show, infants can even reenact scenes from the series.

The toy looks similar to a classic Lego set, although it is not connected to the Danish company in any way and was made by a separate firm.

Outraged commentators took to Twitter to speak out against the bizarre toy.

Jeff Myers tweeted: 'Made for children raised by parents who should know better.'

Jacques Gonzales added: 'Definitely not for kiddies!'

The drama, in its fifth and final series, follows chemistry teacher Walter White on his journey to raise money for his family's future when he is diagnosed with lung cancer.

The schemer from Albuquerque, played by Bryan Cranston, enlists the help of a former pupil Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul.

The only thing not awesome about this is the fact that it’s sold out.

At the end of the skit, he tried to show that some regular toy was deadly, but I can’t remember what the toy was.

“...Walt would wake up next to Lois in Malcom in the Middle which was my idea.”

Ha! that’s pretty brilliant.

But Dexter lived by a code. He only killed people that really deserved it. (I’m a fan)

The show has been quite the star turn for him, which is a little unusual for male actors his age, but I guess more common for character actors like him. I’m glad he managed to break out of being typecast as “goofball dad” and even though I hate that BB is ending, I kind of can’t wait to see what roles he gets after this.
