Toy Story 5 delves into the challenges of childhood in a screen-dominated world, as Bonnie Anderson's new tablet, Lilypad, threatens to replace her beloved toys and impact her social development.
An investigation found five children's toys sold in Britain contain asbestos, a banned substance linked to cancer. Similar items were previously recalled in the Netherlands, highlighting regulatory gaps post-Brexit. Retailers and officials are responding to the findings.
More than 30 children's toys have been recalled in the UK after the Guardian revealed that play sand sold by Hobbycraft was contaminated with asbestos. Products including craft kits and rubber toys from retailers including Tesco, Primark, Matalan and M&S were found to contain the substance, which can cause cancer if inhaled. The affected products contain sand from mines in China where asbestos fibres can occur naturally. The consumer group Which? described the recalls as pointing to a serious failure in safety checks.
