IN AN effort to alert buyers to safe practices on escalators, the maker of Crocs has started to include 'safety information' tags with its resin sandals, which are hugely popular with adults and children.

By its Spring collection next year, the Colorado-based firm will have escalator-safety messages on all its sandals, including those sold here.

Its move, announced in July, comes in the wake of accidents around the world in which young children especially have suffered injuries when their toes got snagged while riding escalators.
