A great amount of asbestos has been detected in an artificial clay commercialized in Europe until 1975. The product was used as toy and teaching item. Children, teachers and artists generally not considered "at risk" could have suffered exposure. This discovery shows the incompleteness of asbestos uses and suggests to test items imported from countries where asbestos is not forbidden.

Abstract
A great amount of asbestos has been detected in an artificial clay commercialized in Europe until 1975. The product was used as toy and teaching item. Children, teachers and artists generally not considered "at risk" could have suffered exposure. This discovery shows the incompleteness of asbestos uses and suggests to test items imported from countries where asbestos is not forbidden.
