Trading standards have warned that fakes, which are often much cheaper than the real thing, can be extremely unsafe and are a potential risk to small children.

If it seems too good to be true, then it is probably a fake.
'I would like to thank our officers for their part in taking potentially dangerous items off the streets. They can give advice to businesses and try to work with them before taking enforcement action.
"However, businesses must make sure they are not stocking or selling fake Labubu dolls or we will take action.'
The counterfeit items seized by trading standards are set to be destroyed.

Brandy Melville files federal lawsuits against Temu & Shein over alleged counterfeits
In the face of copycats, Brandy Melville is not one for sitting quietly. A month after filing a federal lawsuit against Chinese fast-fashion giant Shein for alleged copyright infringement, unfair competition, and deceptive sales tactics, the California-based teen retailer has filed another lawsuit against Chinese online marketplace Temu, accusing Temu of selling counterfeit versions of its apparel. On July 21. Bastiat USA, Inc. and Y.Y.G.M. SA (collectively known as Brandy Melville) filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in the US District Court of New Jersey against Temu for selling copycat versions of its products that breach trademark and copyright laws. In the complaint, Brandy Melville accuses Temu of selling illegal knockoffs of its design, with certain product listings featuring the same images as those from Brandy Melville's official website. Temu accused of selling counterfeit Brandy Melville apparel The brand further alleges that Temu employs a 'bait-and-switch' strategy, misleading consumers into buying what appears to be genuine Brandy Melville clothing when it's actually lower-quality knockoff merchandise, which harms the brand's reputation. The teen-apparel brand also accuses Temu of intentionally violating its trademark rights by using the 'Brandy ♥ Melville,' 'CHILL SINCE,' and 'RADIO SILENCE' marks without permission. Additionally, Brandy Meville alleges that Temu is selling clothing that copies its copyrighted Eye Fabric Design. Temu app Credits: Temu In the complaint, Brandy Melville goes on to argue that Temu maintains 'control over its so-called independent sellers as to almost every aspect of its marketplace,' according to an article by The Fashion Law. With this accusation, it is evident that the brand is preparing to counter one of Temu's most expected defenses: that it is a neutral platform that connects third-party sellers with consumers and should not be held responsible for sellers' trademark violations. The distinction between what third-party sellers and the marketplace itself is key, as courts have historically been hesitant to hold marketplace platforms liable for what third-party sellers do on their sites. The lawsuit goes on to reference ongoing litigation between Shein and Temu, where Shein makes comparable arguments against Temu. Brandy Melville highlights Shein's claims that Temu pretends to be a legitimate marketplace while actually controlling seller behavior, including what products they list, how they price items, and even preventing sellers from removing problematic products when issues arise. Brandy Melville lawsuit claims Temu controls third-party sellers, enabling infringement By claiming that Temu dictates product selection, sets prices, handles payments and shipping, and actively promotes products through its app and social media channels, Brandy Melville argues that Temu operates more like a traditional retailer than a hands-off marketplace platform. If successful in courts, this argument would make Temu directly responsible for trademark infringement on its site. Temu and Shein Apps Credits: Jessica Gow / TT NEWS AGENCY / TT News Agency via AFP If courts agree, Temu could face direct liability for counterfeit goods rather than just indirect responsibility, which would mean much higher potential damages and could undermine the marketplace model that has driven Temu's rapid US expansion. Brandy Melville is seeking court orders to immediately stop Temu from selling knockoff products, next to the destruction of all counterfeit inventory and marketing materials, and a full accounting of profits Temu made from the alleged counterfeits. The lawsuit against Temu comes after Bastiat USA filed a lawsuit against Shein in the US District Court of California on June 23, accusing the ultra-fast fashion retailer of duplicating numerous Brandy Melville designs and marketing them using actual photographs of Brandy Melville products on its website. The legal filing includes direct comparisons showing Brandy Melville's original images alongside virtually identical photos that allegedly appeared on Shein's platform, alleging a deceptive 'bait-and-switch' strategy like Temu. Brandy Melville alleges Temu & Shein use 'Bait-and-Switch' tactics with copycat designs The lawsuits filed by Brandy Melville come as fashion designers across the board fight against copycats. Traditionally, fashion designs are notoriously difficult to copyright as basic clothing forms, patterns, and functional features are considered useful attributes and not unique to be protected, unless they feature distinctive, original expression. Pop-up Shein store in Marseille, October 2024. Credits: Shein Trademarks can protect brand logos, but only when knockoffs use identical or confusingly similar marks. As such, these legal frameworks have led to various brands and retailers copying runway designs and independent brands with little consequence. However, the Brandy Melville lawsuits offer a stronger case because they go beyond design copying. The complaints allege that Temu and Shein directly stole Brandy Melville's promotional photographs and website content to market their copycat products, crossing into clear copyright infringement territory, as companies cannot legally use another brand's copyrighted images to advertise their own merchandise. Unlike typical knockoff cases that struggle with weak intellectual property protections, Brandy Melville has focused on clearly protected content with compelling visual evidence through screenshots and side-by-side comparisons, which gives courts a solid foundation for granting a legal ruling against the alleged infringement. FashionUnited contacted both Shein and Temu for commentary on the lawsuits prior to publication, but received no response. Summary Brandy Melville has filed a lawsuit against Temu for trademark and copyright infringement, accusing them of selling counterfeit versions of its apparel. Brandy Melville claims Temu uses a 'bait-and-switch' strategy, misleading customers with lower-quality knockoffs and infringing on trademarks. The lawsuit argues Temu controls third-party sellers, enabling infringement, and seeks to hold Temu directly responsible for counterfeit goods.

Reform pledges to scrap Online Safety Act over free speech concerns
Addressing a press conference at Reform's headquarters in Westminster, Mr Yusuf said: 'We will repeal this Act as one of the first things a Reform government does.' Under rules that came into effect on July 25, online platforms such as social media sites and search engines must take steps to prevent children accessing harmful content such as pornography or material that encourages suicide. Reform UK's Zia Yusuf said the Online Safety Act did not protect children, but pushed them to more dangerous parts of the internet (Lucy North/PA) This includes introducing age verification for websites and ensuring algorithms do not work to harm children by, for example, pushing such content towards them when online. Failing to comply with the new rules could incur fines of up to £18 million or 10% of a firm's global turnover, whichever is greater. But Mr Yusuf said greater take-up of VPN services, which can enable internet users to circumvent the new rules, showed the legislation did not protect children and in fact made them less safe. He said: 'Sending all of these kids onto VPNs is a far worse situation, and sends them much closer to the dark web, where the real dangers lie.' He also criticised sections of the legislation that allow ministers to direct regulator Ofcom to modify its rules setting out how companies can comply with requirements to crack down on illegal or harmful content, saying it was 'the sort of thing that I think (Chinese president) Xi Jinping himself would blush at the concept of'. During the press conference, Reform leader Nigel Farage acknowledged that his party did not have 'a perfect answer' for what could replace the Online Safety Act, but said his party had 'more access to some of the best tech brains, not just in the country but in the world' and would 'make a much better job of it'. Former detective Colin Sutton has agreed to join Reform UK as a police and crime adviser (Lucy North/PA) A Labour Party spokesperson said repealing the Online Safety Act would 'scrap vital protections for young people online and recklessly open the floodgates to kids being exposed to extreme digital content'. They added: 'Reform offers anger but no answers. They won't say what they would do instead to keep people safe. Farage would give children access to material on suicide, self-harm, eating disorders and pornography. He is simply not serious.' Andy Burrows, chief executive of the Molly Rose Foundation, said scrapping the Act 'would be a retrograde move that would not only put children at greater risk but is out of step with the mood of the public'. He added: 'The Online Safety Act is an important building block that needs strengthening and decisive action to do this would be cheered on by parents and grandparents up and down the country.' Reform's announcement came during a press conference on crime, at which Mr Farage unveiled retired Metropolitan Police detective Colin Sutton as an adviser on police and crime. Mr Sutton, who retired from the police in 2011, led the investigations into serial killer Levi Bellfield and serial rapist Delroy Grant during a 30-year career. He is expected to stand for Reform at the next general election, and said he would push for Reform to commit to opening at least 300 public-facing police buildings along with recruiting 30,000 new officers. Mr Sutton said he would also back getting rid of diversity initiatives in the police, saying: 'If you need some help, if you need police officers, if you need help quickly, do you actually care who comes through the door?' The event was also attended by American conservative media pundit Ann Coulter.

Reform pledges to scrap Online Safety Act over free speech concerns
Former party chairman Zia Yusuf said the Act, intended to reduce online harm, did 'absolutely nothing to protect children' but worked to 'suppress freedom of speech' and 'force social media companies to censor anti-government speech'.
