A packaging mix up led to razor sharp knives being sold as toys.

Massive Japanese discount chain Daiso has recalled thousands of prank knives after it discovered they were actually real.

The Dokkiri Cutter looks like a standard retractable box cutter, but features a dull blade and an indentation to make it fit around your finger.

It tricks people into thinking the blade has sliced through your flesh, and the packaging promises the prank will be "an absolute hit at parties".

However, an error saw Daiso package real knives, which the chain also sells, in Dokkiri Cutter packaging.

Daiso has now suspended sales of Dokkiri Cutters across all of its 3,000 stores.

No injuries have been reported.
