What is the hazard with Product Recall: KTL 2.2kg Squishy Hot Colour Gorilla Toy sold via OnBuy (2603-0183)?

Product Recall: KTL 2.2kg Squishy Hot Colour Gorilla Toy sold via OnBuy (2603-0183) (KTL (formerly Kandy Toys)) was announced earlier this year, in the "Toys - Action Figures (Non Powered)" category. The product presents a risk to health as the sand-like material inside the toy may be contaminated with a small quantity of asbestos. Asbestos is a banned substance because it poses a risk to health even at low levels of exposure. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.

What should you do if you own this product?

The product has been withdrawn from the market and recalled from end users by KTL (Kandy Toys). The listing has been removed by OnBuy.
