Consumer Product Safety Commission issued "urgent safety warning" about knockoff Labubu dolls that "pose a serious risk of choking and death to young children."

Federal safety regulators are warning the public not to buy counterfeit Labubu dolls, saying they pose a choking hazard to children. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warned consumers in an Aug. 18 statement not to buy the fake dolls being sold online and elsewhere and to stop using those already purchased.

The plush, mischievous monster dolls have risen in popularity over the last year, and they can often be spotted hanging from backpacks or purses.
