Turkish Ministry of Health mentioned that slime is not a toy for children

Turkey wants to impose a restriction on the sale of dangerous children’s toys.

The employees of the Ministry of Health of the republic turned their attention to a toy called Slime (English Slime).

The toy is a mass, it's stretchable, it can adhere to any surface and quickly decouple from them. Slime was tested if it was a potential threat to the health of the child. The agency found that the toy contains a substance that if it's used for a long time, it can affect the skin. In addition, there is also a danger of choking on this toy.

The final decision on banning slime will be made in the near future.

Recall that recently the Ministry of Customs and Trade of Turkey proposed to ban the sale of small toys in school buffets, as well as introduce a number of other restrictions.
