'Wicked' stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo
Ariana Grande: What to know
Who is Ariana Grande? Here are some facts
Toy company Mattel has some explaining to do, after dolls created in partnership with the new Universal Pictures movie, "Wicked," were released in packaging that includes the address for a pornographic website.
The dolls, direct replications of the actors who star in the movie, are special edition items released ahead of the movie's premiere on November 22.
Fox News Digital can confirm that the address for a website other than the film's current website, wickedmovie.com. is printed on the back of the packaging for more than one toy.
The web address found on the back of the doll box directs to a page that requires people to be 18 years or older to enter. The dolls, being sold at retailers like Target, Kohls and Amazon, advertise that the toy is acceptable for children over the age of four, but is a choking hazard for those under 3 years of age.

Other "Wicked" inspired toys, manufactured by Lego and Funko, do not include the adult site's address.
Users on social media were horrified by the gaffe, writing posts on X including, "Thats an insane oversight, someone getting fired lol," and, "whoever did this needs to be fired immediately cuz why would they do that knowing that it’s mostly kids buying these dolls."
