Overview
- The OPSS recall targets Shein’s Multi-Colour Ultra-Fine Quartz Sand (SKU sh251116481135504969), sold for play and craft uses and reported as originating from China.
- Consumers are told to stop using the sand, keep it away from children, double-bag any unused product, wet-clean used areas with gloves and a mask, and seek a refund from the distributor.
- The notice states the product presents a risk to health, breaches the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, and has been recalled from end users.
- Asbestos is banned in the UK because even low-level exposure can be harmful, according to the regulator’s warning.
- Shein has removed the item from sale, and multiple sand-like toys and craft kits sold by retailers including Amazon, Tesco, M&S, Smyths Toys, Asda, Aldi, Argos, TK Maxx/Homesense, The Works, and The Entertainer have been flagged or recalled this week.
