Due to Containing High Levels of Lead and Cadmium Consumer Protection Warns Against the Circulation of Glass Drinking Cups (Flying Tiger)


Wednesday 13 May 2026

The Consumer Protection Authority issued an official warning regarding the recall of Flying Tiger glass drinking cups, following the receipt of a notification through the “GCC Rapid Alert System” confirming that these products contain elevated levels of substances harmful to public health. The Authority explained that the glass cups with a capacity of (220 ml), sold during the years 2024 and 2025, carry multiple batch numbers, including: (3055350, 30533912, 3052986, 3060031, 3057450, 3062993). It was found that the external printing on these cups contains high levels of lead and cadmium, which poses a direct risk to consumers’ health. The Authority confirmed that no local distributor for the brand was found in the markets of the Sultanate of Oman, which necessitated publishing the warning through the Authority’s website and the “Aajel” website affiliated with the Gulf Standardization Organization, while emphasizing the immediate discontinuation of the use of the product in order to preserve consumer safety. This warning comes within the framework of the continuous efforts of the Consumer Protection Authority to ensure a safe consumer environment. The Authority affirms its commitment to protecting public health from harmful products and to taking the necessary measures to spread awareness and enhance consumer confidence in local markets.
