Glasgow Parents Warned over Fake Labubu Dolls as Kids Left 'Heartbroken'
- Glasgow trading standards seized counterfeit Labubu toys lacking safety labels from four city stores amid rising fake toy concerns.
- The surge in counterfeit toys stems from thousands of knockoffs produced in China, where authorities shut down plants and seized over 20,000 fakes.
- Labubu dolls, originally sold at about £37 and featured at Paris Fashion Week, now resell for £105 to £229, increasing demand and counterfeit issues.
- Trading standards manager Graeme Paton warned counterfeit toys pose dangers like chemical exposure and choking hazards and urged consumers to stay vigilant.
- Authorities and consumer groups advise buying Labubu only from verified retailers and reporting concerns via Consumer Advice Scotland's weekday helpline, 9am-5pm.
