The toy company explained that the pornographic company’s web address had been printed in error on the packaging. They would have liked to write: www.wickedmovie.com.
“We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate steps to remedy it.”Mattel emphasized in a statement, adding that the error affected dolls sold primarily in the United States. “Parents are warned that an incorrect website And poorly printed, it is not suitable for children »was highlighted in the same note.
