🚨 Parents, be on the lookout! 🚨 A hot toy trend might be more dangerous than delightful. Authorities in Carmarthenshire are sounding the alarm about counterfeit ‘Labubu’ toys flooding the market. These imitations might look fun, but they can fall short of vital UK safety standards and might contain harmful chemicals. Keep your little ones safe as these knock-offs could pose serious health risks! 😟
The council’s Trading Standards team is actively checking shops across the county for these unsafe products. If caught selling them, retailers could face enforcement actions, and products could be seized. This warning spreads beyond just one area, as concerns have been flagged throughout the UK with counterfeit versions popping up everywhere.
The original Labubu toys, sold by Pop Mart UK, are in high demand, leading to lengthy queues and a buying frenzy. Warned are all guardians and retailers to be extra cautious, as these fake products aren’t tested properly and may contain small parts that could cause choking hazards.
Councillor Aled Vaughan Owen reminds us, “Our children’s health and wellbeing is paramount. We must stay vigilant against these counterfeit toys.” Parents are advised to carefully inspect toys, checking for genuine safety markers like the UKCA or CE mark and authenticity features such as holographic stickers, QR codes, or UV stamps on newer editions.
