Consumer protection officials in Romania have upheld a complaint from a man who said his inflatable doll had lost its moan.

A sex shop in Brasov, Transylvania, was fined £600 and ordered to provide the man, said to be in his 40s, with a new doll.

The man had also complained that the rubber doll deflated too quickly, according to local media.

Iulian Mara, head of the local Consumer Protection Office, said: "No matter how strange it sounded to us, we went to the sex-shop from where the man bought the object of complaint and found out he was justified.

"The doll was losing air very quickly and due to a faulty electrical circuit it didn't make the expected specific sounds."
