Smyths Toys Wooden Cornhole Board with Bean Bags recalled due to asbestos risk

Smyths Toys has announced a recall of their Wooden Cornhole Board with Bean Bags Set. This recall is due to concerns that the sand contained within the bean bags may contain asbestos, a substance that is prohibited in the EU due to its health risks. Although current information suggests a low risk to human health, the presence of asbestos is serious enough to warrant immediate action from consumers.

The affected product can be identified by the article number 233254 and the barcode 5390946117845. It was sold in Smyths Toys stores. Consumers who have purchased this product are advised to stop using it right away. If the sand is still in its packaging, it should be placed in a heavy-duty plastic bag, sealed, labeled, and stored securely out of children's reach. If the product is damaged and the sand is exposed, it is important to clean the area with wet cloths to prevent dust from spreading, while wearing gloves and a protective mask.

Consumers should double bag the sand, gloves, mask, and cloths, sealing them securely and labeling them clearly before storing them safely. Before disposing of these items, customers should contact Smyths Toys to request a refund.
