So, this silly recall is real, and it’s because the sand filling is contaminated with asbestos. How did I verify that? well, not simply by going to gov.uk like the announcement says! The front page of gov.uk does not have a header for “recalls”, “product safety” or anything of the sort. Okay, but there is a search box. So I entered “recall”. And yes, it brought up a recalls page featuring several toys, but not this one. On that page is a subtle link to the real, full list, that I completely missed despite actively trying to verify that these malevolent poison gnomes are real; I had to backtrack to google to find a deep link. Terrible web design, 1/10, gov dot uk was designed by a murder gnome. https://www.gov.uk/product-safety-alerts-reports-recalls/product-recall-primark-halloween-gonks-2610-0004
