Mattel recalls Wicked dolls over misprinted packaging directing to porn site
npr.org —
Mattel is recalling its Wicked dolls from some stores due to a misprint on the packaging that directs customers to a pornographic website. The dolls are linked to the upcoming movie, set to release on November 22. The misprint mistakenly directs users to a site associated with Wicked Pictures, a pornographic studio, instead of the official movie website. Mattel has apologized and advised customers to discard the packaging. Resellers are taking advantage of the situation, listing the dolls on eBay for up to $500, despite their retail price being under $40. The dolls are currently unavailable on Mattel's website and have been pulled from several major retailers.
