The directive comes after it was found that the external print on the product contains elevated levels of lead and cadmium, which may pose potential health risks.

The authority urged consumers to dispose of the product immediately, reaffirming its continued efforts to monitor markets and take the necessary measures to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality.

Earlier, Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Commerce had announced the recall of 6,341 glass drinking cups, each with a capacity of 220ml, from the Flying Tiger Copenhagen brand. Authorities warned that exposure to these substances could pose potential health risks during use.

Flying Tiger Copenhagen has a strong presence in the Gulf, known for its affordable, quirky Scandinavian design and treasure-hunt style shopping experience, offering playful lifestyle products that encourage fun and connection.
