Round up your Labubu dolls and check the safety labels, because counterfeit versions of the viral toys may be pulling you or your children at risk.
According to a report by BBC, convincing knock-offs of the must-have toy of the year were recently seized in Scotland, and they pose more of a hazard than you might think.
The tell-tale sign that you've got a counterfeit doll on your hands is that it's missing a mandatory safety label detailing the choking hazard that comes from the toy's small parts. Additionally, it's unclear what materials are being used to produce the knock-off toys and without a safety label, its impossible to know the risk of potential chemical exposure.
Labubu dolls have become a global phenomenon as of late, and while they were originally conceived as a children's toy, they've also earned their place as a popular fashion accessory. Influencers all over social media are clipping the viral toys to their handbags, and they've even been spotted at Paris Fashion Week.
The dolls, the brainchild of Chinese toy maker Pop Mart, have elf-like faces and come in a wide range of colors, sizes, and styles. The name is inspired by a character from The Monsters toy series, which was created by Kasing Lung, an artist hailing from Hong Kong. With hard vinyl faces and soft bodies akin to those of classic stuffies, both kids and adults have been drawn to the toys for their unique look and playful nine-tooth grin.
For anyone purchasing Labubu dolls, it's important to confirm that the product is authentic before taking it home. While cheaper prices for counterfeit items can be enticing, it's not worth it the safety risk.
