mercurynews.com

Mattel has apologized for a misprint on the packaging of its “Wicked” dolls, which mistakenly links to a pornographic website instead of the official movie site. The error was highlighted on social media over the weekend. The dolls, based on the upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway musical, are primarily sold in the U.S. Mattel stated it is taking immediate action to address the issue but did not confirm if unsold products would be removed from stores. Consumers who have purchased the dolls are advised to discard the packaging or cover the link. Some retailers, including Amazon and Target, have already shown limited availability of the dolls.
