Did a woman commit suicide after failing to buy a Labubu?
ALBAWABA - A terrifying incident recently hit a shopping mall in China after several reports claimed that a woman committed suicide when she failed to buy a Labubu doll. According to several reports, a fight broke out at a Labubu vending machine in the shopping center due to high demand, preventing the woman from purchasing a doll. Videos of the fight flooded social media, capturing several people hoarding the vending machine. While reports flooded social media, there has been no coverage from reputable Chinese journalists or outlets that confirmed the incident in question. Based on the available information, this appears to be a viral rumor. Labubu dolls were first launched in 2019; however, Pop Mart's famous dolls went viral in 2025 after endorsements from stars such as Blackpink's Lisa, Rihanna, Post Malone, and Dua Lipa. Their rise in popularity made Wang Ning (Pop Mart's founder) one of China's youngest billionaires. The masses' obsession with the dolls caused the creation of "Lafufus," knockoffs sold for less than a fraction of the original Labubus. According to Dexerto, "Lafufus" recently experienced a surge in production, resulting in the market being flooded with fake Labubu dolls, which made it difficult to track down authentic ones. According to The Economic Times, Chinese authorities took legal action against "Lafufu" dolls, seizing over 46,000 of them due to warnings regarding black market exploitation and violations of the original IP, Pop Mart.
