The UK has announced a recall of 128 products from 26 retailers due to the discovery of trace levels of asbestos in sand used in children's toys. Prominent retailers affected include Dunelm, Marks & Spencer (M&S), and B&M. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has taken action against these products, which are illegal to sell in the UK due to the associated health risks, including cancer and respiratory problems. Kate Dearden, the UK Labour Party minister for product safety, stated that it is alarming that toys containing asbestos are still being sold, prompting ongoing investigations into how these products reached the market. The government is also working to enhance product safety measures and is consulting on improving regulations for online sales. The recalled items include various sand-based toys and craft kits, with a full list available for consumers to check. Retailers must ensure the safety of their products and take immediate action if they are found to be unsafe.
