Mattel's 'Wicked' Dolls Sold at Target Mistakenly List Porn Site URL Instead of 'WickedMovie.com'

Mattel has mistakenly printed the URL of an adult entertainment website on the packaging of its new 'Wicked' dolls, which are being sold at Target and are based on the upcoming film adaptation of the popular musical. Instead of directing consumers to the official movie website 'WickedMovie.com', the packaging lists only 'Wicked', leading to a pornographic site that requires users to be 18 years or older to enter. The error was first noticed by Ariana Grande fans and customers like Indiana resident Dan Goodwin, who purchased the doll for a relative and found the inappropriate link when examining the packaging. The dolls, featuring characters portrayed by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, are now raising concerns among parents and have put Mattel under fire, potentially risking a mass recall due to the oversight.
