New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office has reached a settlement with Walmart over shipping realistic looking toy guns to parts of the state, her office announced Tuesday.

An investigation found that third-party sellers on the retailer’s online store sold realistic looking toy guns to residents of New York and Walmart shipped nine of them to addresses in New York City, Westchester County and western New York.

This is in violation of state law created in 2022 that prohibits selling toy guns that are black, dark blue, silver or aluminum-colored and requires them to be made in bright colors or made entirely of transparent or translucent materials. Retailers that illegally sell realistic-looking toy guns can be fined up to $1,000 per violation.
