Safety warning issued to Labubu collectors; Here's why

(WHTM) — The Consumer Product Safety Commission is issuing a safety warning for collectors of the viral Labubu dolls.

The CPSC announced that fake Labubu dolls are being sold as plush figures and keychains, which are small enough to fit into a child's mouth and block their airways.

The CPSC says it also received reports of fake Labubu dolls that break apart easily, releasing small pieces that can become choking hazards.

Consumers are advised not to purchase these counterfeit products and to discontinue use immediately. Investigators say they have identified multiple shipments of these lookalikes attempting to enter the U.S. from China and requested the seizure of thousands of units after confirming violation of federal regulations for toys with small parts. • Courtesy of the CPSC •
