Fans discover inappropriate link on Mattel's Wicked doll boxes

news.yahoo.com — November 10, 2024 at 05:01 PM UTC

Fans have discovered an inappropriate link on the back of Mattel's new Wicked doll boxes. The link directs to an adult website instead of the intended film site, raising concerns about a potential recall. The dolls, inspired by the upcoming movie starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, were released on September 26. Each doll is designed to match the characters from the film, which premieres on November 22. One shopper shared images of the packaging on social media, prompting widespread reactions. Other merchandise related to the film, such as LEGO sets and baking mixes, do not have the same link. Mattel has been contacted for a response.
