Oman’s Consumer Protection Authority has issued a formal warning to parents regarding a potential safety risk associated with a Flying Tiger toy. The product in question is a xylophone featuring metal bars mounted on a wooden frame. Officials have cautioned that the nails used to secure the metal bars may come loose, creating a significant choking hazard for young children. While the product has not yet been officially pulled from shelves, the alert serves as a vital reminder for caregivers to inspect the item carefully to ensure child safety.

This advisory follows a series of recent safety concerns involving Flying Tiger Copenhagen products across the Gulf region. In Saudi Arabia, authorities recently recalled over 500 units of a "Children’s Tea Set Game" due to small parts detaching from the lids, while previous incidents have involved health risks such as elevated levels of lead and cadmium found in glass drinking cups. Given these recurring issues, regulators in Oman, the UAE, and Kuwait are urging consumers to remain vigilant, stop using affected products immediately, and reach out to retailers to secure refunds for any recalled merchandise.
