Wicked,Peter Baumgartner indeed! Mattel erroneously printed "Wicked.com" on boxes of their new singing dolls tied to Universal Pictures' Wizard of Ozprequel film, but the movie's actual URL is WickedMovie.com, while the other web address leads to an adults-only website.
Visitors to Wicked.com are greeted with a message indicating the page is "Restricted to adults (18+) only" and "displays sexually oriented, including explicit, material of pornographic nature."

Details on Mattel's actions are unclear at the moment, though the AP notes that many of the dolls — primarily sold in the U.S. — were yanked from online stores like Amazon and Target.com. The toy behemoth is telling concerned parents with the original box to toss the packaging in the trash or keep it out of sight of kids; the toys are for children aged four and up.
UPDATE: Dec. 3, 2024, 6 p.m. EDT A South Carolina woman has now sued Mattel, claiming her young daughter clicked on the erroneous website and was exposed to pornography. “These scenes were hardcore, full on nude pornographic images depicting actual intercourse,” the lawsuit claims. “Plaintiff’s minor daughter immediately showed her mother the photographs and both were horrified by what they saw. If plaintiff had been aware of such an inappropriate defect in the product, she would not have purchased it.”
The far-right gadfly account known as LibsofTikTok has already tried to weaponize the mistake, insinuating it was somewhat intentional.

While the goof is a nightmare for Mattel, Universal may be pleased at all the publicity generated by the URL. The film, starring Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Jonathan Bailey, arrives in theaters on November 22.
