On May 15, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported an incident involving assorted cup and saucer sets featuring various designs. These products, categorized under "Variety of Plates for Kids and Children," have been found to contain heavy metals.

This issue originated from Turkey, raising concerns about the safety and compliance of the affected items.
