Dig kit recall (asbestos)

Hi everyone, just wondering if any one has seen the recent recall at Smyths containing the dig kits. My little boy got bought one of the kits at Xmas and once the asbestos in sand concerns began, I emailed the manufacturer of the kit to make sure their 'Pirate Dig It Up!' kit wasn't affected in any way and they reassured me it wasn't. Now I can see its been recalled! Has anyone else had this kit? Thankfully my little boy and his dad did this kit outside. And to be fair I think it was more his dad that completed it as my little boy was only bothered about the gems inside. But I'm still worried. Are the gems even safe? I feel so annoyed that asbestos has been found in so many children's products now!

Thank you for sharing - I hadn’t seen this recall yet. Smyths Toys recall all Dig toys

I think I would get rid of the gems just to be sure
