Melbourne Family Receives Kim Jong Un Costume Instead of Mary Poppins Outfit
A Melbourne family ordered a Mary Poppins costume for their 10-year-old daughter's school parade but received a Kim Jong Un outfit instead. The mix-up, attributed by the retailer to switched warehouse labels, left the child disappointed just days before the event. The incident was shared online by Australian presenter Jacqueline Felgate, prompting public attention. The family contacted the company for a refund and the correct costume, while the retailer's CEO acknowledged the error and provided an update.
