On May 1st, Crayola's touchy-feely craft box and discovery craft box for kids are under recall because the sand inside might contain traces of asbestos. Government officials say stop using them right away and keep them away from children since even small amounts pose a health risk. These kids were made in China and sold at stores like Argos, Ozda, Sainsburys, and the works. Discovery ones went out from August 2025 to April 2026, while the touchy-feely also called sensory craft box hit. Shells from March 2025 to April 2026. Retailers like the works confirm testing found those trace levels, stressing asbestos has no place in toys, so they're pulling everything as a precaution. Importers and other shops are on board too, putting safety first for families. For cleanup, officials advise wearing gloves in a mask, using wet claws to grab the sand without dust, then double bagging it all in heavy plastic, and stashing it safely.

Keep kids and others clear until it's done. Hit up the store where you bought it for a full refund, and Crayola's weighing in soon-stay vigilant with those craft supplies to keep the little ones safe.
