The products present a risk to health as the sand contained within may contain asbestos. Asbestos is a banned substance across the EU because it poses a risk to health. HSE Public Health advice is that there is low risk to human health from these sand products based on current information. 

The CCPC continues to engage with the Health Service Executive (HSE), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Health and Safety Authority (HSA), as required. Further updates will be provided as soon as additional information becomes available. 

These products were sold online and in stores between May 2025 and February 2026. 

What to do: 

In line with the position in the UK, the CCPC is advising consumers who have the product in their home to do the following: 

• Stop using the product immediately. 

• Place the product in a heavy-duty plastic bag, seal it securely, label it clearly and store it in a secure location out of reach of children.  

• If the product is punctured and the sand inside is accessible, clean sites where the product was used using wet cloths to avoid generating dust. Wear gloves and a protective FFP2 face mask or equivalent. Do not use a vacuum cleaner for clean-up. Double bag the sand, gloves, mask and cloths. Seal it securely, label it clearly and store it in a secure location out of reach of children.  

• Prior to disposal contact the place of purchase to request a refund.
