"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Children's play sand has been urgently recalled by Hobbycraft over an asbestos risk, following an alert from a parent who found traces of the dangerous substance in the product. The craft company removed the product Giant Box of Crafts from its shelves last week - and then took the decision to recall it after an independent test found presence of asbestos in a limited number of samples."
"It comes after a parent sent samples of the sand to a testing lab, which she said found traces of asbestos fibres in the bottles of yellow, green and pink sand that were sold in the kit. A Hobbycraft spokesperson said: Customers who purchased this product are advised to stop using it and keep it out of reach of children. Product safety is of the utmost importance to Hobbycraft."
The Independent covers topics including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigates campaign financials and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' profiling American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet does not use paywalls, seeks donations to fund reporters on the ground, and aims to present both sides of stories to a broad political audience. Hobbycraft urgently recalled the Giant Box of Crafts after a parent alerted authorities and independent tests identified asbestos fibres in a limited number of coloured sand samples. The company removed the product from shelves, advised customers to stop use and keep it away from children, and stated there was no evidence of harm to customers.
