They'd probably tear the cardboard. But even if they peeled it really carefully, that's not Hasbro's fault - that's the customer's fault. Hasbro have taken reasonable measures to cover up the potentially offending name. The toy was initially designed/intended for an American market, but Hasbro would have taken reasonable measures to adjust the name for an Australian market. If someone were to go an undo this, then that's not Hasbro's fault.

And that's the name that should appear on the stickers!

How cool would it be (for us) if this toy was called "Spastic" in North America, but then in other Anglophone countries it was called Drag Strip!
