The UK Finds Thousands of Fake Labubus Worth Millions

This year, coast officers in the UK found lots of fake toys coming into the country, and 90% of them are Labubus. Officials commented that the toys are worth ₤3.5 million pounds in total. These fake toys are found through safety tests, and nearly 3/4 of the fake toys did not pass.
Fake toys are a big problem because they may contain problems like having harmful chemicals inside, or parts that can easily fall off. Some toys even have parts that are small enough to be eaten without noticing.
The Labubus are a toy created by a Hong Kong artist named Kasing Lung. It is a furry monster toy that comes in all shapes and sizes. The could be little key-chains or huge dolls. Labubus were quite popular after it was introduced to people around the globe. Real toys can sell for a lot of money.
Fake toys are just cheaper versions of real toys so that people will buy them. These toys are coming into the UK in such big amounts that the IPO decided to start a new campagain to prevent fake toys like these coming into the UK.
