The CPSC says the fake Labubu plush figures and plush key chains are small enough that a young child could put one in their mouth and block their airway, creating a risk of choking and death. The agency also reported instances of the counterfeit toys breaking apart and releasing small pieces that could become ingestion or choking hazards.

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