According to ABC News, which obtained a copy of the memo, the FBI appears to have opened an investigation into the doll.

Mattel, the maker of Barbie Video Girl, noted in a statement that the FBI didn’t say it knew of any cases where the Barbie camera had been used for such nefarious purposes.

But a Sheriff’s spokesman told ABC News that the FBI’s alert will be helpful for drawing attention to investigators collecting evidence at a crime scene.

“When we’re doing a search warrant looking for media that a child pornographer may have used we’re gonna have to put Barbie on the list just like any other cameras (and) computers,” said Sgt. John Urquhart from the King County Sheriff’s Department in Washington state.
