A mother has sued toy giant Mattel after her daughter accessed a porn website through a link printed on the box of a doll from the ‘Wicked’ film.
A mum from South Carolina has sued Mattel saying her daughter accessed a porn site and was exposed to ‘hardcore’ porn scenes after searching up a link printed on a ‘Wicked’ doll box.The company released promotional dolls tied to the film version of the famous play ‘Wicked’, starring British actress Cynthia Envivo and US pop star Ariana Grande.But instead of featuring a link to the movie’s website, the packaging of the doll had a porn website printed.
The class action lawsuit is seeking $5m in damages for all consumers in the US who bought the dolls with the porn link on their box.The mum says she bought the doll on 11 November, the same day Mattel announced it would be recalling the dolls after people noticed the misprint on special media.At the time, Mattel apologised for the gaffe, telling fans it “deeply regrets” sending the film’s young fanbase to a porn site.
