T-shirts distributed to Orange County elementary students for a school fundraiser have been recalled after a parent discovered that the phone number printed on the back of the shirts was a sex chat line.
Linda Vista Elementary School Principal Jackie Howland says the shirts featured the school's mascot of a lion running with a 1-800 number written in words not digits.
The number was written as a cute slogan for the jog-a-thon event, but turned out to be a real phone line that was a she-male sex chat line.
Despite the shirt faux pas, Howland says the jog-a-thon raised $25,000 for student activities.
