      Refused to issue a recall because they aren’t required to by EU law. Nice.

      This is following the recall of asbestos-continated children’s play sand in Australia and New Zealand in the autumn. Hobbycraft really should have checked that their products were clear after that.

      >Hobbycraft said that no UK authority had warned of a risk and that there was no evidence of harm to customers.

      I expect they’ll check again in around 40 years then considering how long asbestosis takes to set in…

      > All the affected products are manufactured in China, where items containing less than 5% of asbestos can be labelled asbestos-free. UK law says that there is no safe limit for exposure to the mineral.

      Sorry, what? Free means 0%, not 4.9%. This is absolutely crazy.

      You know what is missing from this news article- any indication of how many asbestos fibres were found. Literally one or two fibres is fine, in my opinion.
