Mattel Faces Multimillion-Dollar Lawsuit Over Inappropriate Website Link on ‘Wicked’ Doll Packaging

Toy manufacturer Mattel is under fire after a significant oversight led to a hardcore adult website link being printed on the packaging of their new dolls inspired by the popular “Wicked” movie. The intended link, meant to direct consumers to wickedmovie.com, was misprinted, resulting in exposure to explicit content. A concerned mother has filed a lawsuit seeking $7.7 million in compensation for affected purchasers, citing the distress caused to her and her young daughter upon encountering the inappropriate material. Mattel has yet to comment on the lawsuit but has proactively recalled the dolls from circulation. This incident raises serious questions about quality control and the responsibility of toy manufacturers in ensuring child safety.
