SAN JOSE, Calif., March 2 (UPI) -- A U.S. grocery store chain has pulled a chicken puppet that created a lot of clucks over its unintentionally fowl language.

Instead of saying "cluck" like it's supposed to, the puppet with a speech impediment emits a rhyming obscenity that starts with "f," the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News reported Wednesday.

The puppet imported from Korea for the Easter holiday has now been taken off all Safeway shelves, a store spokesman said.

The chain removed it "out of an abundance of caution," the spokesman said.
