NEW ORLEANS (Gray News) – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized nearly 2,000 pop fidget toys coming from China.

Officials say the toys had copyright and trademark infringements and were seized for being counterfeit.
The shipments came from Shenzhen, China, the same shipper location responsible for many seized counterfeit COVID vaccination cards.
