Not so nice… Thousands of unsafe and counterfeit toys were seized during the Appleby Horse Fair, a major event for the Gypsy, Roma, and traveller community in the UK.

The toys lacked proper safety labeling and posed serious risks, including choking hazards, according to local authorities.

The Anti-Counterfeiting Group emphasized the importance of safety standards for children’s products and the need to protect cultural heritage events from criminal activities.
