Woman claims £4 sex toy EXPLODED in her hand and launched batteries into her bedroom ceiling

Cassie Esplin says the battery pack from her Buzz Tongue Finger Vibrator, flew out from the casing and landed on her top.

The 25-year-old claims it left a scorch mark on her jumper and chest after she thinks the battery corroded.

The car dealership worker from Norwich said: "I was going to try if for the first time and it made a really loud bang. I just froze. I was so shocked.

"I just thought 'oh my god what has just happened'. I was holding it close to my face and it could have hit my eyes. I could have been blinded by a £4 sex toy.

"Thank god I wasn't using it. It could have caused some damage. I jumped out of my skin. I was in so much shock."



Cassie, who has used toys before, bought it on the recommendation of a friend – reduced from £12 to £4 in the January sales – from Lovehoney.co.uk.

She claims the battery, which came with the delivery on December 8, exploded that night as she tried out the toy.

She said: "As soon as I put the batteries in it just exploded in my hand.

"Part of it hit the ceiling and landed on my chest."

Cassie complained to the company who has offered her a full refund.



But she said: "I feel too scared in case something like this happens again.

"I couldn't believe what happened."

A spokesperson for Lovehoney said: "This is the first complaint we have received about this product.

"We offer all customers a refund if they complain that a product is faulty as part of our customer service. We take all customer complaints very seriously.

"We have spoken to the complainant and are arranging collection of the product for full testing."

Last year we told how a horrified mum accidentally sent her sex toy to a customer who bought her shoes as an wedding anniversary gift on eBay – forgetting she had hidden her vibrator in the box.

Single mum-of-two Kelly Young, 22, sold a pair of green Timberland boots on eBay last week to a man who was buying them for his wife's anniversary present.
