Lidl recalls Paw Patrol snacks after website on packaging displayed porn | TechCrunch

real world link rot, lol

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Supermarket giant Lidl has issued a recall of Paw Patrol snacks after the website listed on the products’ packaging began displaying explicit content unsuitable for children.

Lidl, which operates more than 12,000 stores globally, is urging shoppers in the United Kingdom to return the snacks for a full refund.

Lidl’s recall notice [PDF] dated August 22 warns that the product’s packaging contains a web address that has been “compromised” to display content “not suitable for child consumption.”

“We recommend that customers refrain from viewing the URL and return this product to the nearest store where a full refund will be given,” Lidl states.

Lidl did not say how or why the website was allegedly compromised, but TechCrunch’s findings suggest that the web domain on the packaging had lapsed.

It’s not uncommon for web hosts to display ads as an additional source of revenue for domains that are empty or left to expire.
