Perhaps the boffins at Kmart Australia didn't know what a homemade crack pipe looks like. But they do renaissance eroticismnow.
The retail chain with no affiliation to Kmart in the U.S., has recalled a set of drinking jars that look like a lightbulb, following complaints from a Facebook user that it resembled a piece of illicit drug paraphernalia.

"People are dying. And to me that product is a direct reference to a meth-smoking device," she added.
Julie Kent, who works on a prison program that connects crime victims with offenders, told the news outlet that the item would be easily recognisable to addicts.
"Children already know what this stuff is about, they know what these light bulbs can be used for," she said.

On the Kmart website, the products are advertised as a "great addition to your tableware" and is a "unique drink jar" which can be used to "serve drinks, beverages and more."
The product has since been removed from the retailers website and from stores, according to the company.
"Kmart Australia sold the drink jar as a novelty on-trend item for the intention only to be used as a drinking glass," a spokesperson told Mashablevia email.
"We would never encourage the use of this item for anything else other than it being used as recommended and now that this situation has been highlighted to us we have removed the item from sale."
