When you open the site the page is blurred and you immediately get a pop-up telling you 'ACCESS BEYOND THIS PAGE IS RESTRICTED TO ADULTS (18+)* ONLY' and have to accept this before progressing further.

There is basically no scope for 'emotional distress' other than inconvenience and maybe having to have an embarrassing conversation about why you couldn't access the site.

The link to the wrong site is a major cock-up but there is no case here for damages. That said, this woman will probably get a payout to make her go away quietly.

There is very much a case here. I’m sure Universal will sue Mattel for an insane amount of money for this wild mistake.

Wait until her daughter finds out how she was conceived

Her parents never met before she was born. She hatched from an egg that just appeared one day.

Not if you have accepted the access beforehand

You're right.

That said every poster in the front page is wearing some sort of clothing so still you are only exposed to 'provocative' clothing and poses

As a gay man I for one am extremely distressed and find this a homophobic attack against me. I will be taking this to the Supreme Court

Girl…

I just need the dolls back on the market please! I only managed to get two Galindas

An opportunist, it seems 

fascinating how this case is suddenly making noise NOW. When these dolls have been out for 3 months, then got pulled off shelves middle of November, and now here we are first week of December ..

The suit was probaly filed earlier but TMZ have just discovered it now. I wouldn't be surprised if the mother notified them herself
