Parents across Ireland are being warned after the CCPC issued a recall of the ‘Skumvoks light clay mix’ product sold in Flying Tiger stores around Ireland.
The product was found to contain unsafe levels of boron when tested by professionals.
Boron can be safe when used as recommended, however, high levels of boron may result in skin irritation, diarrhoea, or vomiting - as well as other long-term impacts on children’s health.

The product consists of small tubs of modelling clay in different colours and the affected model numbers are 3036547 and 3014809.
The model number is printed on the product packaging just above the barcode.
The CCPC advises that consumers who have bought this product should stop using it immediately, dispose of it, or return it to Flying Tiger.
Gráinne Griffin, Director of Communications, says: “There are almost 30,000 of these products in homes around the country.
“Given the number of products involved and the health issues that increased levels of boron may cause, we’re urging consumers, particularly parents, to check any ‘Skumvoks light clay mix’ product they may have in their home to find out if they are affected by this recall”.
What to do:
Customers should stop using the product immediately and return it to any Flying Tiger Copenhagen for a full refund.
