Hasbro is taking steps to make sure its customers aren't accidentally exposed to a sex-talk telephone line.
Contact KY3 first exposed the problem last week after viewer Lisa Ballard told us that a call to Cranium Family Edition's question and comment line instead led her to a sex line, complete with an explicit recorded message.
A spokeswoman for Hasbro says the company didn't know about the misprint until KY3 News called and will make every effort to protect other consumers. She says Hasbro will pull all current inventory and replace the instructions with ones that have the correct number on it.
The company will call consumers for which they have contact information to make them aware of the error. And she says they have implemented a more thorough approval process to assure this doesn't happen again.
