- Over 11,000 counterfeit Labubu dolls, valued at more than $500,000, were seized by border patrol agents in Washington state last week.
- The 11,134 knock-off toys are replicas of popular dolls created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung and produced by Pop Mart.
- Genuine Labubu dolls have become highly sought after, with Pop Mart reporting significant revenue from the series, outpacing major toy brands.
- Counterfeit versions, sometimes called 'Lafufus', pose safety concerns, including choking hazards for small children, as warned by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
- Seattle border patrol officers said they were still on the hunt for the only 24k gold Labubu.
