TL;DR Summary
Mattel is facing a class action lawsuit after mistakenly printing a URL for a pornographic website on the packaging of its special-edition 'Wicked' dolls. A South Carolina resident filed the lawsuit after her daughter accessed the adult site, which was intended to direct consumers to the official page for the 'Wicked' movie. The plaintiff claims emotional distress and notes that Mattel did not offer a refund. In response, Mattel has pulled the dolls from shelves and advised consumers to discard the packaging. The incident has not significantly impacted the film's box office performance.
