Penis lollies row
A German store is facing a trading standards and police probe after selling penis shaped lollipops in the sweets sections of its stores in Dortmund, western Germany.
The discount supermarket chain Tedi has defended the bright pink lollipops saying the product was just meant to be fun and "does not exceed borders of good taste in today's society."
But local politicians say it breaches the boundaries of good taste and is possibly illegal and have demanded trading standards officers investigate.
Dortmund prosecutor Ina Holznagel said: "I have asked police to provide me with one of the lollipops in question so I can check out whether they broke the law."
