Overview
- The Office for Product Safety and Standards confirmed a recall of Addo Play’s Out To Impress Sand Art Creations after tests indicated possible asbestos in the sand.
- The recall covers item code 318-19149-B sold between August 2023 and February 2026 at Tesco, The Entertainer, Matalan and Marks & Spencer.
- Media summaries of retailer notices report a total of 14 children’s toys withdrawn across major chains as checks and product removals expand.
- Consumers are instructed to stop use immediately, double‑bag unopened sand, clean used areas with wet cloths to limit dust, and keep children away until cleaning is complete.
- Tesco advises customers to return the outer packaging for a full refund with no receipt required, while health experts say the immediate risk to children is probably minimal.
