Two more toys subject to recall for asbestos after 137 products pulled

A dad has made a shocking discovery

You can no longer buy the Galt Sand Stickers Craft Kit and the HTI Toys Fun Sand Art Bottle Kit, The Sun has reported.

That’s because traces of asbestos were discovered within them.

It follows the shock recall in June of all Squishy Dumplings stock.

Only in 2026 alone, this means that 139 craft boxes and toys have been because of the lethal substance.

Here's what you should do with them

Any unopened versions of these contaminated Craft Kits, which originate from China, must be put in a heavy-duty plastic bag, secured with double tape, labelled and then most importantly, hidden from the clutches of children.

However, if the packaging is compromised though, it's advised to use gloves and a mask when tidying up any sandy spillages before you dispose of the item in a safe place.

Customers are now being urged by Galt and HTI Toys to return their unopened toy sets to the original retailers for a full refund.

In the meantime, you can also contact a local authority for tips on getting rid of asbestos.

Asbestos fibres can cause cancer via inhalation, and this has been established since the 1990s.

A dad recently tested his young daughter's Squishy Dumpling in order to gauge whether they're safe in the home and he was horrified by the results.

The parent, going by the name @learning.the.limits, or Jordan Collinet, likes to test toys and products with a machine capable of detecting toxic volatile organic compounds and BTEX chemicals such as formaldehyde, toluene and benzene.

He was keen to find out what was going on after noticing a strong smell emanating from his daughters toys, since the health issues associated with these can range from acute respiratory to neurological, cancer and breathing problems.

“Are the viral squishy dumplings polluting your whole room?”, he asked, as he tested for VOCs in ambient air next to the Squishy Dumplings.

As he tested the Squishy Dumplings next to his VOC device in open air and found that the air quality was flashing a healthy “green”, the dad opted for more specificity considering children touch the toys and are in close contact with their “nose and mouth”.

The chilling realisation, after he placed the machine and two dumplings inside a zip-locked bag, was that these toys can cause leukaemia.
