Toxic Chemical Found in Fake Labubu Dolls in Sweden, Steps to Verify Yours

Toxic Chemical Found in Fake Labubu Dolls in Sweden, Steps to Verify Yours

Some fake versions of the popular Labubu dolls have been found to have a lot of a chemical called DEPH.

This chemical is used to make plastic soft but can be harmful to people's health, especially for their bodies' important systems.

Swedish authorities have taken away thousands of these fake dolls to keep them away from children.

If you have a Labubu doll, you can check if it's real by looking at the number of teeth, the color and shine of its face, its special box with a QR code, and a special seal on its foot that glows under a black light.

Real dolls are made with good quality and look neat, while fake ones might be made poorly.
