Hazard: The Warehouse is recalling this product as, although their own independent expert testing in November 2025 to the AS 5370:2024 standard produced a ‘no asbestos detected’ result, a NZ laboratory engaged by MBIE Product Safety to undertake a subsequent test to the previous AS 4964:2004 standard has indicated that they believe there may be traces of chrysotile and tremolite asbestos in some samples. The Warehouse advise that respirable asbestos has not been detected in any of the tested samples and the release of respirable asbestos fibres is unlikely to occur in its current state, unless the sand is processed by mechanical means such as crushing or pulverising. The Warehouse also advises that the risk that any asbestos which may be found in the product is likely to be airborne or fine enough for inhalation, is low.
Action: Stop using the products immediately. Place the product in a heavy-duty plastic bag, tape it securely and keep it out of reach of children. Do not dispose of the products in general waste. The Warehouse request you return it to the store you purchased it from for a refund. Please follow the instructions provided by the store staff when returning products to store. Please ensure you follow the specialist advice on safe containment, removal and disposal for: Households/individuals from Health NZ here Educational facilities from Ministry of Education here Other workplaces from WorkSafe here.
