Two more children’s sand kits are pulled from sale after tests find they contain asbestos, according to multiple outlets. The recalls follow earlier actions in which other products—many of them children’s toys—are removed from shelves due to asbestos contamination. Reporting cites testing carried out by consumer group Which?, which has examined a range of items implicated in previous recalls.
One report says the issue has already prompted closures of some schools and parks, most recently in North East England, as concerns about asbestos exposure lead to restrictions on affected locations. It is also reported that the contaminated sand is believed to be linked to sand sourced from specific quarries in China, although details on the specific suppliers or batch information are not consistent across the coverage.
The outlets agree on the core point: additional children’s sand-related kits are withdrawn from sale because asbestos content is detected through testing. The reports do not provide further specifics in the excerpts on the brand names, product lines, or the exact asbestos type and concentrations.
