DFE: UPDATE

Asbestos in consumer products information page

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) have published a page on gov.uk containing guidance for consumers and businesses on consumer products containing asbestos.

The page provides disposal guidance for both businesses and consumers, including early years settings, along with health information. Settings should review the linked list of contaminated products that are subject to recalls and where products are identified in the setting follow the guidance to ensure their safe disposal.

If you have concerns about a product that you think might contain asbestos but has not been recalled contact the Citizens Advice consumer service.
