Hazard: Silkrute is recalling this product because testing found unidentified mineral fibres that were consistent with asbestos. The latest Health New Zealand advice is: Exposure to asbestos does not cause any immediate health problems. The health conditions linked to asbestos develop over a long period – typically 15 to 40 years. The risk of developing asbestos-related health conditions, such as some types of cancer and lung disease, is linked to the nature and quantity of asbestos and the length of time a person was exposed to it. There is no safe level and therefore we try to avoid all exposure. For most people who have these products at home, the quantities involved will be small. That is very different to the greater risk for people who might be exposed during construction work or through the mining industry.

Action: Stop using the products immediately. Follow the specialist advice on safe containment, removal and disposal for: Households/individuals from Health NZ here Asbestos in sand Educational facilities from Ministry of Education here Asbestos in coloured sand - Ministry of Education Other workplaces from WorkSafe here Asbestos in coloured sand | WorkSafe If you purchased this product for personal, domestic or household use, contact the supplier for refund options.

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.

Audience

General consumers

Hazard: The Affected Products are twin-blade knives intended for use by electricians, with a shorter 35mm blade for cable work and a longer, 65mm general-purpose blade. FACOM has determined that there is the possibility that the blades may not be locked in place when fully extended for use. The blade may therefore fold into the housing without depressing the lock release button if pressure is exerted on the back of the knife blade. If the knife folds unexpectedly, this could pose a laceration hazard to end users. The probability of injury to end users has been assessed as high risk.

Action: End users are being advised to immediately stop using Affected Products and to contact Stanley Black & Decker NZ to arrange the return and replacement of Affected Products.

Hazard: Farm Fresh is recalling this product because testing found unidentified mineral fibres that were consistent with asbestos. The latest health advice is: Exposure to asbestos does not cause any immediate health problems. The health conditions linked to asbestos develop over a long period – typically 15 to 40 years. The risk of developing asbestos-related health conditions, such as some types of cancer and lung disease, is linked to the nature and quantity of asbestos and the length of time a person was exposed to it. There is no safe level and therefore we try to avoid all exposure. For most people who have these products at home, the quantities involved will be small. That is very different to the greater risk for people who might be exposed during construction work or through the mining industry.

Action: Stop using the products immediately.

Hazard: Firemex have advised that the fire-rated door core used in some fire doors may be contaminated with asbestos fibres. In January 2026 WorkSafe confirmed that if the fire doors remain intact, they pose negligible to no risk of asbestos exposure. WorkSafe also clarified that if the door is installed in a way that exposes the fire door core, or if the damage to the door occurs that exposes the fire door core then there may be a risk of Asbestos exposure.

Action: Do not cut, drill, sand, or carry out any invasive work on any doors that may be affected. If the door is fully installed and intact: it can remain in place, as intact doors pose negligible to no risk. If the door is uninstalled, partly installed, or damaged so that the core is exposed: stop work immediately and contact Firemex for instructions. Building owners should follow their Asbestos Management Plan and treat affected doors as potentially containing asbestos until testing confirms otherwise. Firemex will advise whether testing, replacement, or disposal is required and will guide customers through the process and next steps.

Hazard: The product is being recalled by Ace Amusements because samples have tested positive for tremolite asbestos. The product may cause a risk to health as asbestos has been detected in some samples after laboratory testing. Importantly, respirable asbestos has not been detected in any of the tested samples. 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 risk that any asbestos found, that is likely to be airborne or fine enough for inhalation, is low.

Action: Stop using the products immediately. Please return to the store where the product was purchased for a ticket refund.

Hazard: Modern Brands have recalled this product because independent laboratory testing has detected naturally occurring Chrysotile asbestos in some samples of Galt - Mini Makes - Sand Stickers. Importantly, no respirable asbestos has been detected. The presence of asbestos fibre bundles does not imply that there is a risk of asbestos exposure. Asbestos fibres are hazardous only if they are sufficiently fine, airborne and inhaled in sufficient quantity. The release of respirable asbestos fibres is unlikely to occur unless the sand is processed by mechanical means such as crushing or pulverising. While the risk that any asbestos found is likely to be airborne or fine enough for inhalation is low, this may still pose a risk.

Action: Stop using the products immediately.
