US toy retailer Toys"R"Us on Wednesday said it was pulling "Breaking Bad" dolls from its shelves after a Florida woman complained about the kids' store selling the drug-themed products.

"Let's just say the action figures have taken an indefinite sabbatical," the retailer said in a statement, a cheeky nod to the hit TV show whose main character quits his job as a chemistry teacher to become a drug kingpin.

Toys"R"Us drew criticism after Susan Schrivjer of Fort Myers, Florida started an online petition for the retailer to drop the dolls.

The toys come complete with a little gas mask and a tray of blue crystals.

Schrivjer's petition garnered more than 9,000 signatures.
