Burger King Recalled the Dragon Ball Toys and That's Why the Collab Died
Employees say a product recall is what killed the promotion early, not slow sales.

The reason Burger King pulled its Dragon Ball collaboration early is a product recall, according to GameRant.
After news broke that the chain was ending the promotion ahead of schedule, multiple Burger King employees came forward to say the collab was killed because of a recall on the toys themselves.
The rollout had already been rough in the United States before this, and the recall explanation reframes what looked like a quiet cancellation.
GameRant reports the employee accounts.
