Walmart fined for shipping realistic toy guns to New York, violating state law
Briefly

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a ruling against Walmart for shipping realistic-looking toy guns to New York, resulting in a fine and a commitment to prevent future sales. This follows a previous legal agreement with major retailers regarding the sales of such toys after the tragic death of Tamir Rice. The law restricts certain colors of toy guns to enhance safety. James’s investigation revealed multiple violations and emphasized the need for compliance with state regulations to protect consumers.
Letitia James emphasized the importance of adhering to state laws regarding toy guns, stating, 'It is imperative that retailers understand the serious implications of selling realistic-looking toy weapons, which can endanger lives and violate our laws.'
Reflecting on the consequences of Walmart's actions, James noted, 'The shipment of these imitation guns to New York shows a blatant disregard for a law designed to protect our communities from potential harm.'
