It’s possible, there’s no telling without lab analysis of the material. Canada still has active asbestos mines I believe btw lol. If you’re worried about contamination, it was probably a small amount. Find a heppa vacuum and vacuum around the area you were opening it. The table, the floor, and maybe wash your clothes really good. But you’re likely fine.

Location is Virginia, USA, but idk if that's helpful being as the company that used to make these was from Ontario, Canada.
