Threat of toy shortage ahead of Christmas

Double penalty for toy dealers.

Closed in November, a month that represents 20% of their annual sales, they may not have enough toys to offer on the shelves in December.

Each year in France, nearly 40 million toys are placed under the trees.

Usually, at the end of November, 85% are already delivered to the store.

This year, because of the closure, this is far from the case.
