Kadink Decorative sand 10g 6 pack

The product is being recalled because the sand may include asbestos, which is a prohibited substance in Australia.

Reason / Defects: The product is being recalled because the sand may include asbestos, which is a prohibited substance in Australia. Hazards: 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 is likely to be airborne or fine enough for inhalation is low. What to do: Stop using the product immediately. Wear disposable gloves and a mask and place the sand in a heavy-duty plastic bag and double tape it securely and keep it out of reach of children. Do not dispose of the products in general waste. Information on the disposal of asbestos waste, including disposal facilities in your state or territory can be found on The Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency website . Contact Officeworks after disposal to arrange a full refund.
