Addo Play Ltd sand toys recalled due to potential asbestos contamination

Addo Play Ltd has announced a recall of various sand toys that were available at Tesco stores. The affected products include Out to Impress Sand Art Creations, Out to Impress Creative Candles Craft Set, Paw Patrol Sand Art Pictures, and Paw Patrol Bumper Craft Collection. The recall is due to concerns that the sand in these toys may contain asbestos, a harmful substance that is prohibited in the EU due to health risks.

Consumers who have purchased these products are advised to stop using them immediately. If the sand is still in its original packaging, it should be placed in a heavy-duty plastic bag, sealed, labeled, and stored safely away from children. For those who have already used the sand, it is recommended to clean the area with wet cloths to minimize dust, while wearing gloves and a protective mask. Any used sand and cleaning materials should also be double-bagged and stored securely.

Customers should reach out to their local authority for guidance on how to properly dispose of the sand. Additionally, they can contact Tesco for a refund without needing a receipt. For further assistance, customers can call Tesco Customer Services or The Entertainer's customer services.
