Muscat: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) has emphasised the necessity to read warnings on toys.

A statement issued online by MoCI said : "In the interest of the safety of children, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry urges consumers, when buying toys for their children, to choose the appropriate toys that suit the child's age. Usually the appropriate age for each toy is written on the data card shown, according to the Gulf Technical Regulation for Children’s Toys No. (BD131704-01), which aims to determine mandatory requirements for the safety of children's toys, which must be met in all toys before they are offered or put on the market."
