The popularity of⁣ Mattel’s “Wicked” fashion dolls is soaring, but not due to high demand.

Mattel has been forced to withdraw its line ‍of character dolls due to a ⁤packaging error. Instead of directing customers to the official ‌website for Universal’s “Wicked” movie, the ‍boxes ⁤mistakenly ⁢featured⁤ a ⁢link to ‌an adult website associated with Wicked⁢ Pictures.

In a statement, Mattel acknowledged the mistake and assured consumers that immediate steps are being taken to⁣ address it. Parents are urged to ⁤be⁤ cautious as the incorrect website is not suitable⁣ for children. Those⁣ who already have the product should either dispose ⁣of the packaging or cover up the link and can reach out to Mattel Customer Service for assistance.
