An Italian toy maker has been accused of trivializing a serious childhood disease with the edition of its popular Cicciobello doll, which children are invited to treat of the measles, the Euro News website reports today (April 6, 2018).
The blonde doll, Morbillino, comes with accessories including wipes, cream, and plasters, to make its red spots disappear quickly.
The name Morbillino is a take on the Italian word for measles, "morbillo."
Health experts have accused toy maker Giochi Preziosi of trivializing the disease, which in reality cannot be cured with a "magic" wipe, and which is one of the leading causes of death among children.
