Almost thirty thousand parents in Ireland are being asked to return a popular children's toy due to a safety concern. 

According to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), Flying Tiger Copenhagen is recalling all batches of their Skumvoks light clay mix due to a risk presented by a chemical in the product. 

The clays contain increased levels of boron and exposure may result in skin irritation, diarrhoea or vomiting. There can also be long-term impacts on children's health. placeholder image
