Toy company Mattel has found itself in hot water after a scandalous mistake on the packaging for their new Wicked movie dolls. Instead of printing the correct website for the movie, Mattel mistakenly included a porn website address on the packaging.
The error was discovered by a concerned parent who had purchased the dolls for their child. Upon closer inspection, they noticed that the website listed on the packaging was not related to the Wicked movie at all. Instead, it directed users to a pornographic website.
Mattel has since issued an apology for the mistake, stating that it was a printing error and not intentional. The company has promised to rectify the issue by recalling all affected packaging and re-printing with the correct website address.
This scandal has caused quite a stir in the toy industry, with many parents expressing outrage over the oversight. Some have called for a boycott of Mattel products, while others have demanded a full investigation into how such a mistake could have occurred.
In the age of the internet, companies must be extra vigilant when it comes to printing website addresses on their packaging. This incident serves as a reminder that even the smallest oversight can have serious consequences.
It remains to be seen how Mattel will recover from this embarrassing blunder. In the meantime, parents are urged to double-check packaging on all toys before giving them to their children to ensure they are safe and appropriate.
