What is this? This is a 10 kg kettlebell made in China. It is filled with sand that has a tiny bit of natural radioactivity.

What's happening? The sand inside gives off more radiation than normal. Using it a lot over many years could be harmful.

Does this affect me? Anyone who uses this kettlebell often in the Netherlands, France, Poland, Portugal, or Slovakia may be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have used it for a long time.
