Two official letters from the US Department of War arrived at a Toronto sex store after adult items were intercepted at a US naval base in Bahrain and mailed back.
The letters were found inside returned parcels at Bonjibon, an online sexual wellness retailer. Co founder Grace Bennett, a 34 year old in Toronto, said they arrived over about a month last summer.
Bonjibon does not ship directly to Bahrain, but frequently sends orders to military bases. Bennett suspects packages were forwarded to someone stationed there without realizing local laws ban sex toys.
One letter from the US Naval Forces Central Command in Bahrain cited Bahrain Customs screening. It warned that "pornographic materials or devices are not allowed into the Kingdom of Bahrain."
The discovery happened during a surge of returned packages after President Donald Trump imposed tariffs and scrapped the de minimis exemption. Bennett said parcels were coming back to the warehouse almost daily.
Bennett laughed at the blunt message, summarizing it as "stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain." The Pentagon declined comment, customers were reimbursed, and the letters now hang framed in the offices.
