He also sold fake poppies
Fake poppies and jewellery with dangerous levels of lead have been seized after the dodgy goods were imported to Manchester.
The poppies were not authorised by the Royal British Legion — the charity which organises and benefits from the official poppy appeal. But the goods could have also presented a risk to health.That’s because after seizing rings, testing found the jewellery contained 1,300 times the safe amount of lead allowed, and higher than safe levels of nickel. Light-up toys also had problems like the plastic cap and battery box fitting inconsistently and fixed-on with a varying quality of adhesive.
The hooky gear was located after a tip-off to Manchester council in 2022, who tracked down Miku as the importer from China. When interviewed by officers, the company’s director, Ling Bin Li, of Broad Road, Sale, said he relied on verbal confirmation that goods are compliant with laws in the country they are shipped to.
On Monday , Li pleaded guilty to offences under the REACH Act, Toy Safety Regulations and the Trade Marks Act. He accepted that he did not conduct due diligence over the products which were being sold, and that he did not check the relevant regulations.
