Mattel accidentally linked a porn site on Wicked doll packaging


Well that’s certainly not child friendly.

Barbie producer Mattel has issued an apology after customers spotted its Wicked edition dolls listed an adult website on the packaging. Mattel said that the dolls, which have been released to coincide with Universal’s film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical, are “primarily sold in the US” and that the error was a “misprint.” It’s unclear how many of the mislabeled toys, which are advertised for children aged four and up, have already been distributed to stores. Wicked serves as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz that’s told from the perspective of the witches Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Galinda (Ariana Grande).
