globalnews.ca

Mattel has apologized for a misprint on the packaging of its special edition "Wicked" dolls, which mistakenly linked to a pornographic website instead of the official movie site. The error was highlighted on social media over the weekend. The company acknowledged the mistake and advised parents that the incorrect link is not suitable for children. Mattel is urging consumers to discard or obscure the misprinted packaging. While the dolls are sold at major retailers like Target and Amazon, it is unclear how many misprinted boxes were distributed. Mattel has not issued a recall or refunds for the affected products.
