"They are badly made and, like all counterfeits, have a habit of falling to pieces quite quickly. However the real danger is the fact the eyes and feet come off with little effort if a toddler picks them up and swallows them, the results could be fatal."
"There is a long history of counterfeiters trying to make a quick profit from the fad toy of the moment, but the Labubu fakes we found could prove a costly error. Our job is to ensure shoppers in Westminster get what they pay for and dangerous items get taken off the streets."
"London shoppers are being warned after 100 dangerous fake Labubus were seized in raids on West End shops. The counterfeit dolls were found to be death traps for toddlers with eyes that pop out and feet that fall off, posing a serious choking hazard."
Westminster Council Trading Standards officers seized 100 counterfeit Labubus dolls during raids on Essentials in Brewer Street, Soho and Snack n Gifts in Oxford Street. The Chinese knock-offs were poorly made, often missing safety labels, and were openly sold as genuine Labubus for around £20. The fakes had eyes and feet that could come off easily, creating a serious choking risk for toddlers. Real Labubus typically retail between £17.50 and £50 and can fetch hundreds on resale. The find formed part of a larger 35,000-item haul and the council vowed to crack down on dangerous counterfeits.
