BOMB squad police were called to defuse a suspicious package, only to discover the “bomb” was actually a sex toy.

A case of sex toy mistaken for bomb!

The woman who received the package told a Martin County Sheriff’s deputy in Florida that it arrived in the mail the day before, according to a recently released sheriff’s report, says Florida news site TCPalm.com.

The “unknown item” was in a manilla envelope inside a US Postal Service Priority Mail envelope. The woman’s name and address were listed as sender and recipient.

A bomb tech specialist determined the “suspicious package” contained a sex toy.

“It was a pink plastic adult novelty item, with some type of a plastic rabbit attached to it,” a sheriff’s spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail.

The woman claimed she did not order it and that a person known to her may have been the culprit.

Police are investigating.
