LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Toys 'R Us recently raised eyebrows with its line of Breaking Bad-inspired action figures -- complete with tiny toy bags of crystal meth -- prompting one "shocked" Florida mother to take action.

Susan Schrivjer told Today that she started a Change.org petition calling on Toys 'R S to pull the toys because "anything to do with drugs is not doing the right thing."

"I just think that they need to look at their visions and values, as they call them," Schriver said of the nationwide retailer.

Bryan Cranston, who played chemistry teacher-turned-meth dealer Walter White, tweeted in response: "I'm so mad, I'm burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest."

Toys 'R Us said in a statement that the action figures are intended for people ages 15 and older and are situated in the "adult action figure area" of its stores.
