I get why they recall it, but let's be honest. How many people visit an URL found on food packaging? It's made for fans of the paw patrol show, and most kids that age don't come further then whatever game is popular on ios and android.
In reality they should have just said nothing, by recalling it and notifying the general public far more people are going to be aware of this. Had they just said nothing it probably would have flown way under the radar
Could have been against the law if they knew they had compromised package labels that displayed porn to children and they did nothing about it.
They noticed their error and took at least symbolic steps to fix it. This is the right way to deal with errors. Ignoring/hiding almost always backfires.
Someone did notice it and informed them. If they did nothing then they could get in trouble for inaction.
