Mattel pulls Wicked dolls from shelves over packaging error linking to adult site
Mattel has removed dolls from the upcoming movie "Wicked" from stores after a packaging error linked to an adult film website. The dolls, based on characters from the film, were meant to direct consumers to the official movie site. The mistake was highlighted on social media, leading to widespread attention. The dolls were available at Target, Walmart, and Amazon before being pulled on November 11. Some sellers are now listing the mislabeled dolls on eBay for high prices. Mattel acknowledged the error and advised parents to discard the packaging or cover the incorrect link. The company is taking steps to address the issue ahead of the film's release on November 22.
