McDonald's says there are no plans to take a talking Happy Meal toy out of distribution, even though some customers say it sounds like it uses curse words.
The fast-food restaurant introduced a Happy Meal on July 3 with toys inspired by the movie "Minions."
The Oak Brook, Illinois-based company issued a statement saying the sounds the small yellow figures make are nonsense words, nothing offensive or profane.
It says that the Minion Caveman toy makes three sounds - "para la bukay," `'hahaha" and "eh eh."
A toy acquired by The Associated Press made a sound that could be interpreted as an obscene phrase commonly abbreviated as "WTF."
