Asbestos is a banned substance across the EU and poses a number of health risks. Inhaling asbestos can cause a number of health issues, including respiratory illnesses and lung conditions.<\/p>\n
In line with advice issued in the UK, the CCPC has advised consumers who have the recalled products in their home to stop using them immediately.<\/p>\n

If the sand has been used, sites where it was used should be cleaned using wet cloths, while wearing gloves and a protective mask. The sand should be double bagged along with the gloves, mask and cloths, and again, sealed, labelled and kept out of reach of children.<\/p>\n
Consumers have also been advised to contact their local authority for advice on collection and disposal.<\/p>\n
