A princess wand, dubbed the ‘Evil Stick’, promises ‘wonderful music, magic and fairies.
But underneath the silver foil, it shows the image of girl slitting her wrists with a knife.
The toy wand also emits a cackling laugh and flashing red eyes.
This upset an Ohio woman who bought the toy wand for her two year-old girl.

An Ohio mother is upset after she bought a “princess wand” for her daughter, but the toy revealed a disturbing image.
Nicole Allen bought what she thought was a princess wand from a dollar store earlier that week. A piece of foil came off the wand, and underneath there was a disturbing image of a girl cutting her wrists with a knife.
Allen said the toy’s packaging included a fairy, but the store owner told News Center 7’s Lauren Clark that the toy is called an “evil stick,” so the mother should have realized what she was buying.
The store owner said he would take the wands off the shelves if he receives more complaints.
The packaging is marked for children ages three and up.
