According to Mattel, it has a “Wicked” major issue on its hands since it has placed a URL to the back of its Elphaba and Glinda toys, and it turns out that the URL corresponds to a highly adult-oriented website.
The agreement is that the toy firm is mostly selling action figures of the two main witches, but they are also selling dolls of characters from the movie that is based on the Broadway musical of the same name.
There is a URL to the website “www.wicked.com” printed on the back of the dolls. This is done in the event that customers who purchase the toys are interested in purchasing further items; however, this is not the website of the firm. This is a pornographic website!
Obviously, there is a great deal of fury from parents on the internet, and the majority of it is due to the fact that they got to the page by chance, rather than because their kid came to the website.
Mattel is aware of the error, which is predominantly produced on dolls that are sold in the United States of America, according to a representative for the company who spoke with TMZ. The mistake is something that they truly regret, and they are taking steps to guarantee that no future dolls will have the erroneous URL printed on the back cover.
It is recommended by Mattel that parents either throw away the product box or hide the link. Additionally, anybody who has additional inquiries is urged to get in touch with Mattel’s customer support for additional information.
The bottom conclusion is that parents should jot down the internet address that is printed on the back of the box, unless they are willing to answer certain inquiries that are really embarrassing.
