Mattel Hit with Lawsuit Over 'Wicked' Dolls' NSFW Packaging Error
TL;DR
Mattel is facing a class action lawsuit after mistakenly printing a pornographic website URL on the packaging of its special-edition 'Wicked' dolls. A South Carolina resident filed the lawsuit after her daughter accessed the adult site, causing emotional distress. Mattel has since pulled the dolls from shelves and advised consumers to discard the packaging. The company acknowledged the error, which was intended to direct consumers to the official 'Wicked' movie page. Despite the incident, Universal Pictures reported strong box office sales for the 'Wicked' film.
