A mother says her daughter accessed a porn website through a link on the packaging of a Wicked doll and saw photographs that caused 'emotional distress'.

Toy giant Mattel is being sued by a mother who says her daughter accessed a porn website via a link on the packaging for a Wicked doll. The company released dolls of characters played by British actress Cynthia Erivo and US singer Ariana Grande in the film version of the hit musical. But instead of featuring an address to the movie's website, a porn site sharing the name of the movie was mistakenly printed on the packaging.

Ms Ricketson said she would not have bought the doll had she known about the mistake and claimed Mattel had not offered a refund despite recalling the dolls. The lawsuit said the dolls were packaged in boxes with an 'inexcusable error'. Mattel has declined to comment on the lawsuit, but said in a statement that sales of Wicked dolls with correct packaging have resumed in stores and online.
