The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a safety warning over fake Labubu dolls, which pose a choking hazard and can break apart easily, releasing small pieces.

If you're on the hunt for a Labubu doll for your child, be on the lookout for fakes - they come with an urgent warning!

The CPSC says the fake Labubu plush figures and plush key chains are small enough that a young child could put one in their mouth and block their airway, creating a risk of choking and death. The agency also reported instances of the counterfeit toys breaking apart and releasing small pieces that could become ingestion or choking hazards.
