A Paw Patrol craft kit has been urgently recalled due to potential asbestos contamination. The Sand Art Pictures Kit, sold by Addo Play Limited, was available at major retailers including The Entertainer, Tesco, M&S, Hobbycraft, and British Garden Centres between September 2024 and February 2026.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) warned that the sand in the set may contain traces of asbestos, a banned substance that poses a health risk even at low exposure levels. The product fails to meet the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
The Entertainer stated that testing revealed trace levels of asbestos, advising customers to stop using the item immediately and keep it out of children's reach. Customers can contact The Entertainer at Product.Recall@theentertainer.com or call 0808 501 3005.
M&S confirmed the product is no longer available and is being recalled. Online purchasers will receive a £5 code automatically; customers are instructed to dispose of the item following OPSS guidance and not to return it to stores.
The OPSS advises double-bagging unused sand in a heavy-duty plastic bag, labelling it, and storing it securely. If used, clean areas with wet cloths, wearing gloves and a mask, and double-bag all materials. Dispose of the product in general household rubbish and contact the retailer for a full refund.
