One eternal fact of life that continues to prove true is that kids will do the most horrific things, including finding themselves on porn sites because of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. according to court documents shared go through typea woman is filing a class-action lawsuit against special edition maker Mattel evil Her children suffered “emotional distress” after the doll’s packaging directed them to pornographic websites.
Mattel has released many evil The back of the doll’s box has the Wicked.com website printed on it, instead of the correct address from the movie, wickedmovie.com. It would be a simple, harmless mistake if wicked.com didn’t direct people to Wicked Pictures, a porn production studio that’s been around for over 30 years (and has website domain name same length). The lawsuit was filed by South Carolina mom Holly Ricketson, who claims she purchased one on or about November 11 evil She was shocked when her children showed her the Wicked.com website, which, she said, “pasted scenes of pornographic ads onto her phone screen.”
She claims her children were exposed to fully nude sex scenes. Mattel recalled the dolls but did not offer a refund. The lawsuit accuses the company of neglecting its responsibilities to produce appropriate products, packaging, and more by explicitly marketing the toys to four-year-olds. While the toy giant didn’t respond directly to the lawsuit, it did argue that incorrectly including porn sites on its packaging “in no way affects the value or play experience the product itself provides in the limited quantities sold prior to the correction.”
While Mattel seems to want to keep packaging separate from the actual product, there may be another way to get away with culpability when it comes to what the company is actually marketing to children. When you visit wicked.com, the first image you see is an age-restricted notice that explains how the content on the page is restricted and is only viewable by those 18 or older, and no pornographic images are visible. Let’s say her child hit “enter” aimlessly, just as we do when presented with a list of terms and conditions that may actually involve us agreeing to provide our data to Artificial Intelligence Overlord As far as we know. When I checked (purely for journalistic reasons), no ads were flashing on my screen, and everyone depicted on the homepage was fully clothed, even if they were scantily clad. Children may continue to click on the screen to search for evil content, and eventually stumbled upon the type of content her mother claimed she was exposed to on the site. However, it may be a case of principle versus practicality that for this mother the fact that her child was directed to a website containing pornographic content outweighed the possibility As the lawsuit alleges, her child may not have shown her mother “immediately” when she entered the site, Instead, her mother was shown the results of her own browsing of the site.
Broadway adaptation still receives critical acclaim despite doll recall occurring 11 days before film premiere $114 million It topped the box office during its opening weekend in the United States alone. with a evil part 2 With a release expected next year, Mattel should definitely invest in spell check to avoid future legal trouble and prevent minors from stumbling upon pornographic content. Just a thought.
