Mattel’s new Wicked movie dolls have caused controversy after directing consumers to an adult website instead of the official movie page.
I was not trying to turn the page from Something Wicked This Way Comes, a 1962 dark fantasy novel by Ray Bradbury, but Mattel is going to have to explain their logistics. According to multi web sites, the company, known for its popular toys, made a grave mistake with their new Wicked movie dolls by including an erroneous website on the packaging.
Instead of directing to the official movie page, the link leads to an adult website. The recent blunder by Mattel is truly shocking and raises concerns about their commitment to safety.
This careless error by Mattel, a brand trusted by families for generations, is completely unacceptable. Parents rely on toy companies like Mattel to prioritize the safety of their children, making this mistake not just a small oversight but a serious issue.
The dolls were sold at major retailers such as Target, Amazon, and Walmart, exposing numerous children to a link that is entirely unsuitable for their age. Mattel may have called it an “unfortunate misprint,” but when it comes to our kids’ well-being, there is no room for excuses or errors.

Now, we are pondering was this just a typographical error, or someone was having a bewitching moment. At any case, this is not good for the company and I am looking for Mattel to issue a full blown apology to ‘Wicked’ and the public’s trust.
In conclusion, I am certained Mattel will be issuing an apology, especially with Christmas jingle belling around the way.
