Scandal around Mattel: False link causes excitement among parents!

In an embarrassing incident, the toy manufacturer Mattel caused excitement: A link to a pornoseite was printed on the packaging of the new "Wicked" dolls. Instead of the correct link "wickedmovie.com", "wicked.com" is now emblazoned - and that has far -reaching consequences for the company and its small buyers. Holly Ricketson, an affected mother, submitted a class action lawsuit against Mattel to the Los Angeles Regional Court. She demands compensation of at least five million dollars, since her daughter came across the “hardcore photos” of the pornographic side, which caused emotional damage to the minor, such as oe24.at reported.

Mattel has already apologized for this "regrettable mistake". In an explanation to the media, the company assures that the functionality of the dolls is not affected and that a return of the products concerned is not necessary. Nevertheless, the incorrect articles that are mainly sold in the USA were called back. On November 11, Mattel began producing new packaging, which no longer contains the inappropriate link. These revised products are now available again in stationary trade and online. Large retailers such as Walmart, Best Buy and Amazon are also targeting the faulty products to avoid further misfortunes, such as The verge communicated.

The incident quickly caused an outcry on social media, with many parents being concerned about the effects on their children. Mattel, known for timeless classics such as Barbie and Hotwheels, is now under pressure and has intensified the clarification of the customers to the matter. In the explanation, the company emphasizes that the wrong link is not suitable for children and recommends that the parents remain attentive. Despite the recalls, it remains unclear how many of the faulty dolls have already reached the shelves and how many children may have already affected. The anticipation for the film "Wicked", an adaptation of the successful and controversial musical, is overshadowed by this scandal.
