Why 2025 Demands a New Brand Protection Strategy for Toys

Counterfeit toys are rising—and the risks go far beyond lost revenue.

Safety risks for children are real. In August 2025, over 400 counterfeit toys were seized in one UK village, including items with dangerous parts and no safety labeling.

Fakes appear across platforms. Counterfeiters target marketplaces, pop-up sites, and social ads to exploit brand trust and sell unsafe toys.

Regulatory pressure is mounting. New safety standards and consumer protection laws, like the INFORM Consumers Act, require brands to prove proactive IP enforcement.
