Labubu dolls have captured the hearts of kids and collectors alike, but now parents need to be on high alert. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an urgent warning about counterfeit Labubu dolls, sometimes called “Lafufu,” that pose a serious risk of choking and even death for young children. These fakes are sold both as plush dolls and as small keychains, and their size makes them easy for a child to put in their mouth, potentially blocking their airway.

How to Spot a Fake Labubu

Some fake dolls are poorly made and can break apart, releasing small pieces that can also become choking hazards. The CPSC is urging consumers not to purchase these knockoffs and to stop using any they may already have. Acting Chairman Peter Feldman stressed, “These fake Labubu dolls are dangerous, illegal and have no place in American homes. No parent should have to wonder if a toy will stop their child from breathing. Protect your children and buy only from reputable sellers.”

Federal investigators have traced multiple shipments of these counterfeit dolls attempting entry from China, and thousands of units have been seized for violating federal toy safety regulations. CPSC enforcement continues at U.S. ports to block dangerous imports before they reach families.

Parents and collectors can take several steps to ensure they have authentic Labubu dolls:

This warning aligns with similar alerts from the United Kingdom’s Chartered Trading Standards Institute. Families are encouraged to report any injuries or defective products to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov.

Labubu dolls, inspired by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung’s “The Monsters Trilogy,” are popular worldwide and can retail for under $30. Rare variants sometimes sell for thousands online, which has unfortunately led to a market for knockoffs.

The CPSC’s mission is to protect the public from unreasonable risks associated with consumer products. Since its founding more than 50 years ago, the agency has worked to reduce injuries and fatalities connected to unsafe toys and other products. Parents are reminded that federal law prohibits selling items that fail to meet CPSC safety standards or are subject to recall.

For more information, visit CPSC.gov, sign up for alerts, follow the CPSC on social media, or report dangerous products through SaferProducts.gov. Families can also call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 for guidance on keeping their children safe.
