As the Labubu craze takes over this summer, a serious warning has come to light. The adorable, cheeky-looking plush dolls have become the must-have accessory, especially for fashionistas flaunting them on their designer bags. However, some shoppers are tempted by cheaper knock-offs known as Lafufus, which can pose hidden dangers, especially for kids.
Recently, warnings have been issued from various safety panels, including England's Trading Standards. It turns out the counterfeit dolls often lack important safety features, including certain markings, and not having them means the dolls don’t meet safety standards. Some have been found with loose parts that could easily break off, creating serious choking hazards!
One politician concerned with safety spoke to The Mirror about the importance of remaining vigilant when buying these trendy collectibles. He said, "While they might seem like a steal, the risks just aren’t worth it." Many parents might not realize that what looks like a bargain could actually be dangerous.
So how can you spot a real Labubu from its fake buddy? First, check the packaging. Genuine Labubus come in high-quality boxes with sharp prints and secure seals. Next, examine the doll itself. Real Labubus have precise detailing, while fakes may have sloppy paint jobs or uneven edges. Don’t forget to look for official branding and check the price - if it's way cheaper than usual, you might just be looking at a Lafufu!
Stay safe and stylish, and always opt for the real deal!
