Mattel Apologizes for Misprinted Doll Packaging Linking to Adult Site
Mattel has publicly apologized for a misprint on the packaging of its Wicked dolls, which incorrectly directs consumers to a pornography website instead of the intended WickedMovie.com. The issue has sparked concern, particularly among parents, as the misprint could expose children to adult content. The dolls feature characters from the upcoming film adaptation of the renowned musical, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Mattel urges affected consumers to discard the packaging and is taking immediate steps to rectify the situation ahead of the film’s release on November 22.
