What is the hazard with Product Recall: Habico Ltd 350g Jars of Coloured Sand (2606-0268)?
Product Recall: Habico Ltd 350g Jars of Coloured Sand (2606-0268) (Habico Ltd) was announced in the last month, in the "Hobby/sports equipment – Arts/Crafts/Needlework Sand Supplies" category. The products present a risk to health as the sand in the jars may be contaminated with a small quantity of asbestos. Asbestos is a banned substance because it poses a risk to health even at low levels of exposure. The products do not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
