Feds Seek Arrest Warrant For 22K Phony Barbie Dolls
(Minneapolis, MN) — The feds in Minneapolis are handling a very unusual case. They are seeking an arrest warrant from a court to destroy 22-thousand fake Barbie dolls intended for distribution to Dollar Tree stores in the United States. The toys were shipped by a Hong Kong exporter and seized in October 2017 from a freight train at the Canadian border. Federal authorities in Minneapolis allege in its civil filing that the defendant CEO Barbie dolls and their packaging violated federal copyright, trademark and other protections.
