01:37 PM EST, 12/03/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Mattel ( MAT ) improperly advertised a website on the boxes of dolls based on characters from the Wicked musical that redirected consumers to an adult film website, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Central District of California by a mother who bought the Mattel ( MAT ) doll for her daughter, said the toy's box included a link to "wicked.com," a pornographic website, and sought damages from the company for negligence as well as violation of multiple consumer protection laws.

Mattel ( MAT ) did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.

Mattel ( MAT ) pulled Wicked dolls off the shelves last month due to the wrong website on their packaging which the company blamed on a misprint. The boxes were supposed to include a link to "wickedmovie.com."
