Mattel, one of the world’s largest toy companies which own brands including Barbie and Fisher-Price, has been sued by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), for allegedly backing out of a promise to donate $49m to a children’s hospital.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by The Los Angeles Times, the $6bn company reneged on a pledge made in 2017 to send the large donation to the hospital over the following 12 years.
