More than 100 fake Labubu dolls seized from shops

Officers raised serious concerns about the safety of the fake dolls

More than 100 counterfeit Labubu dolls and accessories have been seized from shops.

Trading Standards officers in Oldham said the dolls were unsafe, with small parts that broke off easily, "creating a choking hazard".

Labubu dolls have become hugely popular since they were launched by Chinese toy company Pop Mart in 2015.

The Oldham councillor in charge of licensing, Elaine Taylor, said: "Fake toys like these may be cheaper, but they can put children in real danger."

Taylor added: "We know it can be tempting to buy toys that look like a bargain, but parents need to be extra careful."

Fake Labubu dolls have also been seized in Blackpool and Wales recently.
