Oman's Consumer Protection Authority inspectors seized several items from commercial outlets for featuring skull motifs, including Kuromi dolls, after a complaint was filed.
Omani consumer protection laws prohibit the sale of items that display symbols, slogans, or images considered offensive to religion, contrary to public morality, or inconsistent with local traditions and customs.
The move gained traction online, and rumours spread that authorities were also targeting Labubus, but Omani authorities dismissed the claims.
