Spot the difference: parents warned that fake Labubu dolls could contain lead and pose choke risk

Watch out for potential safety risks associated with counterfeit or fake Labubu dolls often called Lafufus and keep these products away from young children, the ACCC said in a product safety release on Wednesday. Lafufu dolls may pose a safety risk to consumers, especially young children. Some Lafufus are small enough to fit entirely within the mouth of a young child, while other versions may have detachable body parts such as eyes, feet and hands, and poor stitching, which may be a choking hazard.

Sold new, an Airwrap costs between 400 and 480, but Maheen did not suspect anything was amiss. I had used Vinted many times and it was simple and straightforward. Nothing had ever gone wrong, she says.
