I believe it has been pulled from shelves, I checked Toys R Us and Amazon, and they are unavailable. However it was/is a very popular toy. Throw it away if you have it, or return it.

WOW! That is outrageous! And the threat appears to be even more...

"Asbestos has also been found in children’s clay as well as duct tape and miscellaneous building products from China"

I just saw an article in this months National Geographic. China will not allow old computer monitors to be imported. They contain too much lead. But it's alright to put toxics in our kids toys!

I know it's like that old poster of the mouse giving "the finger" to an eagle swooping down on it.... but I am going to do whatever I can to NOT buy anything from China until they clean things up.
