Comment on Asbestos found in children’s play sand sold in UK

I don’t think there’s a story that encapsulates the state of the UK better than an out of town superstore not issuing a recall for a product designed for children that’s filled with asbestos.

Sounds like they’re just waiting to confirm if there’s actually a problem, rather than issuing a full-scale product recall based on a single test result reported by a random member of the public.

Maybe or it could be worse than that:
So they can’t be required to recall unless regulators have both a confirming test result and they prove asbestos sand harms kids. I don’t know if that’s proven to legal standard, even if we think it very likely. Do you? More importantly, does an officer in Borsetshire Council Trading Standards know?
Thank you Brexiters, yet again 🤦
