Consumer safety has become a pressing issue after reports of hazardous chemicals in Lafufus and Labubu dolls, leading to increased scrutiny over these products. The dolls, which have drawn attention at Pop Mart’s flagship store in Shanghai, now face mounting pressure as parents and regulators question their safety for children.
Manufacturers of these toys have yet to issue formal statements, but preliminary investigations into the composition of the dolls have raised alarms. Some consumers have reported skin irritations and allergic reactions in children who have played with these toys, prompting calls for a recall or safety testing.
Regulatory bodies in China are reportedly considering stricter safety standards for toys, particularly those marketed to children. This development has sparked wider concerns about the quality control of products sold in the country, with many questioning the oversight in the toy industry.
