Mattel 'deeply regrets' porn site misprint on Wicked dolls

Mattel, the well-known toy manufacturer, has expressed that it 'deeply regrets' a significant misprint on the packaging of dolls inspired by the upcoming Wicked movie. This film features popular artists Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, and the dolls were released just in time for the movie's premiere. However, a mistake was made when the packaging displayed the address of an adult website instead of the official movie website. Fans who noticed this error quickly took to social media to share their findings, leading to widespread surprise and concern. In a statement, Mattel apologized for this 'unfortunate error' and cautioned parents that the misprinted website 'is not appropriate for children. ' The company has recommended that the dolls, which are designed for children aged four and older, be enjoyed without the confusion caused by the packaging error. Many fans who purchased the dolls shared their reactions online. One user wrote, 'I bought the Singing Elphaba doll, and when I checked the back of the box, I found that it had a link to an adult website! ' Another person from the United States commented, 'I went to Target and Walmart today, and yes, the Wicked dolls have the wrong website listed. ' In response to the situation, Mattel advised consumers to discard the incorrect packaging. They stated, 'We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this. ' The company also encouraged those who already have the dolls to either throw away the packaging or cover up the link. The dolls have primarily been sold in the United States, and Mattel is committed to ensuring that such mistakes do not occur in the future. The Wicked movie is based on a beloved musical that explores the story of two witches in the Land of Oz before the arrival of Dorothy Gale. Cynthia Erivo portrays Elphaba, a young woman who is misunderstood due to her green skin and is on a journey to discover her true power, which will ultimately lead her to become the Wicked Witch of the West. Throughout the story, she forms an unexpected friendship with her classmate Glinda, played by Grammy-winning singer Ariana Grande, who will eventually become the Good Witch of the North. The film is set to be released in both the United States and the United Kingdom on November 22, and fans are eagerly anticipating its arrival. While excitement builds for the movie and the dolls, many hope that the packaging error will be resolved swiftly to avoid any further confusion.
