Mattel Sued Over ‘Wicked’ Dolls That Included Link to Porn Website on Packaging
Mattel is being sued for mistakenly printing the URL for a porn site on the packaging for dolls based on the "Wicked" movie.
According to court documents, a South Carolina resident is launching a class action lawsuit after purchasing the toy for her young daughter, who visited the X-rated website that had “nothing to do with the ‘Wicked’ doll.” The toy company mistakenly listed a similarly-titled website for the adult-entertainment site Wicked Pictures, rather than the official page for the Universal Pictures film, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. The plaintiff alleges that Mattel didn’t offer a refund and believes she and her child suffered “emotional distress” from the misprint. After “Wicked” opened in theaters, Universal’s chief marketing officer Michael Moses told Variety he didn’t think the snafu was harmful to ticket sales for the film.
