The ‘serious risks' of fake Labubu dolls
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) stated that these counterfeit plush figures and keychains are small enough to block a child's airway and can easily break into small, hazardous pieces.
Consumers are advised to immediately stop using any existing Lafufus and to avoid purchasing them, with the CPSC also requesting the seizure of thousands of fake dolls being shipped into the US.
Peter A. Feldman, acting chairman of the CPSC, emphasised that these fake dolls are dangerous and illegal, urging parents to buy only from reputable sellers.
The CPSC provided guidance on identifying counterfeit dolls, including looking for unusually steep discounts, overly bright colours, the absence of nine teeth, and the lack of official Pop Mart holographic stickers, QR codes, or UV stamps.

Dramatic moment Sean 'Diddy' Combs' twin daughters are KICKED OFF rollercoaster over rude act
Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' twin daughters, D'Lila Star and Jessie James, 18, were dramatically kicked off of a rollercoaster ride at the Orange County Fair after reportedly failing to follow a simple rule. According to footage of the incident obtained by the Daily Mail, the twins were seen sitting on the ride with their friends waiting for it to take off. But suddenly, one of the fair workers began speaking to them, and shortly thereafter, the twins, whose mom is the late Kim Porter, were seen getting off the ride before it began. According to TMZ, the teens were asked to leave the ride because they were 'told to put their phones away by staff three times' but simply 'wouldn't listen.' However, another source told the publication that the conductor of the ride was being 'rude' when he requested they put their devices away. The girls were not kicked out of the Orange County Fair, and were reportedly given tickets to ride the rollercoaster at a different time. The Daily Mail has reached out to the twins and the fair for comment. The twins graduated from high school in May, as they showed off their diplomas in a post on Instagram. They later revealed that they will not be attending college - and of course, this is all happening as their father is being held in prison as he awaits sentencing. In July, Diddy was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution after a blockbuster, nine-week trial in New York. The jury found he arranged for male escorts to have sex with his ex-girlfriends, Cassandra Ventura and 'Jane,' who testified anonymously, at sexual performances known as 'Freak Offs.' Cassie gave an emotional testimony in court about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Diddy - just two weeks before she was set to give birth. She accused Diddy of revolting sexual acts, and testified that he controlled every aspect of her life during their decade-long relationship, kept her in check through violence, and left guns lying around to 'scare' her. After Cassie gave her emotional testimony, jurors were forced to watch three videos purported to show her and male prostitutes engaged in the 'freak offs.' But in a huge upset to the prosecution, Diddy was acquitted of the more serious counts, conspiracy racketeering and two counts of sex trafficking, which could have seen him jailed for life. He still faces up to 20 years in jail, but prosecutors believe he may get closer to five, as he doesn't have any previous criminal record. During the trial, his twin daughters showed up at court to support him. Just days later, the Combs twins launched their new clothing line, 12TWINTY1. They shared the news in an Instagram post at the time. They said: 'We are launching our very own clothing line, welcome to 12TWINTY1. This line is more than just fashion, it's personal to us. 'Everyone always asks if we really think alike. And the answer is, definitely. The connection we have is just beyond words and that connection is the heart of our brand. '1221 is super meaningful to us because not only is it our birthday, but the numbers themselves also tell a story. 'The number one symbolizes boldness, leadership and the start of something new and the number two represents love, harmony and connection. 'And together, these numbers represent who we are. We created 12TWINTY1 to reflect that energy where comfort means confidence. This brand is for everyone. 'Everyday pieces that look good, feel good and mean something. This is 12TWINTY1 on connections made for the mirror, ready for the world.'

Colombian court frees former president Uribe from house arrest until it rules on bribery case
A Colombian appeals court ruled Tuesday that former president Alvaro Uribe must be released from house arrest while he challenges his conviction for bribery and witness tampering. On Aug. 1, the conservative leader was sentenced to 12 years of house arrest for threatening and trying to flip witnesses who had spoken to investigators about his alleged role in the formation of a right wing paramilitary group in the 1990s. Uribe denies the charges and has appealed the conviction to the Superior Tribunal in Bogota. The court has until mid-October to issue a definitive ruling on the case, which has gripped Colombia and also provoked reactions from Uribe's allies in the United States. On Tuesday the Superior Tribunal said it approved an injunction filed by Uribe's defense team seeking his release from house arrest. Uribe's lawyers argued the former president's right to due process was violated by the arrest order against him, as well as his right to a presumption of innocence.
