Christmas Toy Shortages Expected
As the holiday season approaches, toy makers and retailers face significant challenges. Many are halting their holiday orders because they anticipate shortages and rising prices. The ongoing tariffs have created a bottleneck in the supply chain, leading to fears of inadequate toy supplies for consumers.
Retailers are not just worried about empty shelves; some are even consulting bankruptcy lawyers. They worry that their businesses may not endure the financial strain caused by the tariffs. This situation poses a double challenge: consumers may face higher prices while stores scramble to meet demand amidst supply chain disruptions.
