Outrage as toy company creates 'crystal meth lab' for children with Breaking Bad play sets
• 500-part set has all the drugs paraphernalia used in hit American series
• Lego refused to sanction or endorse the toy, which was made by independent company Citizen Brick
• Twitter users blasted £160 toy as an inappropriate plaything
Children can now build their own drug dens with a shocking new play kit inspired by TV show Breaking Bad.
The sell-out £160 kit, branded 'SuperLab', lets any child or adult recreate Walter White's notorious crystal meth lab.
Complete with protective masks, drug paraphernalia, figurines and a version of the car from the show, infants can even reenact scenes from the series.
The toy looks similar to a classic Lego set, although it is not connected to the Danish company in any way and was made by a separate firm.
Outraged commentators took to Twitter to speak out against the bizarre toy.
Jeff Myers tweeted: 'Made for children raised by parents who should know better.'
Jacques Gonzales added: 'Definitely not for kiddies!'
The drama, in its fifth and final series, follows chemistry teacher Walter White on his journey to raise money for his family's future when he is diagnosed with lung cancer.
The schemer from Albuquerque, played by Bryan Cranston, enlists the help of a former pupil Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul.

Has Lego’s patent on their designs lapsed?
Hmm, I’ll skip that one :)
Speaking of Malcolm in the Middle, I actually saw Frankie Muniz try to drive a race car a few times. Doing that, he was more like Malcolm in the Back.
Definitely not. But I do have many a McFarlane toy, quite a few for Walking Dead, got the Hanson Brothers. There’s a very large world of toy for grown-ups out there.
Can’t Lego sue them for copyright infringement? After all, they’re using Lego’s patented “lock block” system.
You can’t sue for copyright infringement because you have a patent.
You can’t sue for patent infringement because you have a trademark.

Patents run for about 20 years. Legos have been around for fifty or more.
This can’t be real!
