Smyths Toys Recalls Children's Toy Due to Possible 'Asbestos Risk'
Testing found trace asbestos in the sand-like filling, and Smyths Toys is urging customers to stop using the board and return it for a full refund.
- Smyths Toys Superstores recalled the Smyths Toys Wooden Cornhole Board after identifying potential asbestos contamination in the bean bags, withdrawing the item from the market.
- The Office for Product Safety & Standards confirmed the recall, stating the toy fails to meet requirements of Toys Regulations, as asbestos poses a health risk even at low levels of exposure.
- A Smyths Toys spokesperson said the sand-like material "may contain trace levels of asbestos," though the manufacturer characterized the overall risk as low and initiated the recall "as a precaution."
- Customers are being urged to "stop using it immediately" and return the product to any local Smyths to receive a full refund and keep children safe.
- Shoppers can locate their nearest store at the Smyths website to facilitate returns, and the company requested that anyone with further queries regarding this safety notice contact them directly.
