Hema is recalling several children's toys sold in its stores in France after asbestos was detected in a small tube included in some of its creative kits. The alert was issued by Rappel Conso on Friday, February 20.

The affected products are:
- sand and craft sets (GTIN 15900101 and 15900102),
- a set of six sandblasters (GTIN 15900035),
- "sand creation" cards and magnets (GTIN 15920121 and 15920122).

All batches are being recalled, for products sold between February 2023 and February 2026, depending on the specific product code.

Authorities are asking consumers to immediately stop using the products and return them to the store for a full refund. An information hotline is available: +33 1 40 39 94 61.
