Urban management staff in Shanghai's Huangpu District have confiscated about 200 counterfeit versions of the 2010 World Expo mascot Haibao following a recent raid on downtown Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.

It was the first time that local authorities have teamed up with the Expo organizer to confiscate bogus Expo 2010 products that infringe the event’s intellectual property rights.

The raid came after reports published in local newspapers saying that street vendors were selling counterfeit Haibao toys.
