Holly Ricketson of South Carolina files proposed class action after daughter shows her hardcore photographs

Mattel was sued on Tuesday by a South Carolina mother for mistakenly putting a link to a pornographic website on packaging for dolls tied to the blockbuster movie Wicked. In a proposed class-action filed in federal court in Los Angeles, Holly Ricketson said she had bought a Wicked doll for her daughter, who then visited an adult entertainment website through the link provided by the toymaker. Tuesday’s lawsuit seeks at least $5m in damages for people in the United States who bought Wicked dolls whose packaging included the errant link.
