If you're a parent or know someone with kids, then you're probably familiar with Ms. Rachel's magic. The YouTube creator, who recently teamed up with John Legend for a kid-friendly song, took to Instagram on Friday (October 19) to address issues surrounding the best-selling Ms. Rachel doll.
The doll is No. 1 on Amazon and is so popular that fakes have appeared online to scam buyers. Ms Rachel dealt with the drama in a video where she bridged the gap between her doll and the winner.
“I'm very sorry that this is happening,” she said of the fake dolls. “I want to make sure you have a real one, so let's see how to say it. This is so important to me because we don't know if fake dolls are safe or not,” Ms Rachel continues before explaining the characteristics of her doll versus a fake.
Released by Spin Master, the original Ms. Rachel is an interactive touch-activated toy that sings four songs: “Wheels on the Bus,” “Hop Little Bunny,” “I'm So Happy,” and “Icky Sticky.” The doll also says more than 16 signature phrases, including “Can you say…?” and “I'm so proud of you!”

The doll Ms. Rachel Speak & Sing ($29.99) is designed for ages six months to 3 years and helps with conversation and cognitive development. Ms Rachel designed the doll together with child development experts. According to several TikTok videos, Ms. Rachel's fake dolls were apparently sold online through third parties who uploaded them to Walmart and Amazon.
Luckily, Ms. Rachel has an official Amazon store where parents can buy her doll and other toys and books, including her latest bestseller, Mrs. Rachel and the special surprise.
The official doll Ms. Rachel is available at Amazon, Walmart and Target.
