The British daily tabloid The Sun reported on August 23, 2023 that snacks for children sold by the supermarket chain Lidl contain the URL of a Chinese pornographic site.
The items in question were four types of snacks themed after the Canadian children's television cartoon ' Paw Patrol .' Although there was no problem with the quality of the sweets inside, Lidl has decided to remove the product from stores across the UK because the URL written on the outer bag is to a site that is not suitable for children to view. We have decided.
Reportedly, the URL used the domain of the confectionery company Appy Kids Co, but when accessed from a mobile phone, a page with numerous advertisements containing explicit pornographic images is displayed. That's what he said.
One parent told The Sun: 'I'm hoping it's some kind of typo, but this is way too far. It's a bag of biscuits aimed at kids, so I'm sure some kids will end up looking at this site.

TechCrunch says, ``It is not uncommon for web hosts to display ads on empty or expired domains as an additional source of income,'' and adult ads were posted on the URL of a defunct confectionery company. He suggested that this may be the cause of this problem.
Lidl said in a statement on its official website : 'We are recalling this brand's products after discovering that the supplier URL on the back of the packaging has been altered and directing children to a site not suitable for viewing by children. We ask customers to refrain from viewing the URL and return the product to their local store for a full refund.We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your cooperation.'
This isn't the first time someone has encountered a URL provided by a company that turns out to be a porn site. In 2020, there was an incident in which British airline EasyJet misdirected customers to a pornographic site due to a typo in the URL.
