Attorney General Letitia James announced that Walmart has been fined $16,000 for shipping 'realistic-looking' toy guns, which are prohibited in New York. These toy guns, purchased from third-party sellers on Walmart's online store, included models that mimicked real firearms and posed risks to public safety. The lawsuit highlights New York's strict regulations against such toys, citing multiple incidents where imitation weapons led to fatal misunderstandings. Walmart will now prevent third-party sellers from sending these toys to New York residents, emphasizing the state's commitment to safety.
Realistic-looking toy guns can put communities in serious danger and that is why they are banned in New York. Walmart was putting people at risk.
New York has a long history of going after imitation weapon sales. In 2015, it settled a lawsuit against Walmart, K-Mart, Sears, and Amazon for $300,000.
