Youtuber Michou’s board game, intended for children aged 7 and up but containing inappropriate questions, is withdrawn from sale due to a “manufacturing error”, announced the influencer and publisher Topi Games.
A board game from Youtuber Michou aimed at children “from 7 years old“but accused of conveying content inappropriate for this age is withdrawn from sale, announced the influencer and the publisher of the game, reporting”a manufacturing error“.
“We have been informed of the presence of inappropriate questions in certain cards of the game ‘Who will be the liar?’, intended for a young audience“, explained the company Topi Games in a press release on Saturday.
“This situation is due to a manufacturing error in the content validation processes“, the company continued, adding to understand “the indignation aroused by this incident” and assume “total and complete responsibility for this error.“
“The box will therefore be withdrawn from sale and a refund will be made to customers.“, added the influencer Michou on X while apologizing.
This 23-year-old video game enthusiast has 10.2 million subscribers on YouTube.
His board game, inspired by his videos, was marketed with a label stating “from 7 years old” while certain cards asked players questions with a sexual connotation, which Internet users quickly pointed out, with supporting photos, after Christmas, on social networks.
“We are actively working with our partners, both in-store and on online platforms, to avoid any new purchases as quickly as possible.“, specified Topi Games.
