Manchester shop caught selling fake and unsafe Marvel and Batman toys

A business has been fined around £10,000 after it was found selling unsafe and fake children's toys.

After receiving a tip regarding imported goods, Manchester City Council trading standards officers visited Just Traders Ltd, of Commerce House, Manchester. Over 280 toys were seized on suspicion that they were unsafe or fake, which included Marvel and Batman merchandise.

Council officers found many of the toys had failed basic safety tests. Some of these saw easily removeable battery compartments, which can result in a child swallowing the battery itself.
