It's a domain parking page full of ads for Chinese porn apps. The company closed shop and some squatters took over their domain. A recall seems unnecessary to me, but I'm guessing they got complaints and figured this was just safer.

It's not just porn, it's actively malicious. The site tries to install a configuration profile (iOS) if you click through, presumably to install a root CA or something.

This is done usually so you can sideload apps.

Hardly anyone will actually return anything but they get to cover their asses by doing this.

Consumers won't return it, but the stores will, in bulk. That's a lot of lost food because they can't repack or relabel it.

The recall could instruct the stores to cover the offending URL with a sticker. But they’ll just say “toss ‘em”.

Eat the cookies, return the packaging? After all, it's an issue with the packaging that resulted in the recall.

Odds are, if a consumer asked they would tell the consumer to just throw the packaging away. In fact, that's probably what they would tell a retailer.

Oh, Chinese hackers attacking Paw Patrol, what's next? Bing Bunny gets turned into The "Big" Bunny? ;)

Bing Bunny sounds like some misplaced Microsoft promotion.

Here's a Reddit discussion about the recall: https://old.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/1662ylp/lidl...

Thank you

Oops.

Looks like someone ignored the domain expiration emails.

I see that constantly, especially where there's high turnover.

the url was appykidsco.com

It still is. Open in mobile view and you'll see.
