Mattel prints adult website on Wicked dolls packaging by mistake

news.sky.com — November 11, 2024 at 02:01 AM UTC

Mattel has mistakenly printed a porn website address on the packaging of its Wicked dolls. The dolls feature characters from the upcoming film adaptation of the musical, but the packaging incorrectly directs customers to an adult site instead of the official movie website. The company stated it "deeply regrets" the error, emphasizing that the misprinted website is not suitable for children. Mattel intended to direct customers to WickedMovie.com. Mattel advises consumers to discard the incorrect packaging or cover the link. The film is set to be released on November 22, with a sequel planned for next year.
