Wal-Mart "Realistic" Toy Guns Trigger Raid

Chinese quality watchdogs have seized 46 toy guns from a Wal-Mart store in Shanghai because they looked "too realistic".

Five types of toy guns, including pistols and a machinegun, were seized from the retailing giant's outlet.

"All of the guns are black or metallic, which is against a law that states at least half of toy guns should be bright colours such as red or green to differentiate them from real weapons", said a quality official.

"The toy guns sold in Wal-Mart are too real, and such toys can be harmful to children by easily inducing them to violence", the official added.

The quality watchdogs would inspect samples of the seized guns again, and if they were confirmed to have broken regulations, Wal-Mart could face a fine equal to three times their sale value.
