Reason the product is recalled
The products are being recalled because they may include asbestos, which is a prohibited substance in Australia.
The hazards to consumers
The products may cause a risk to health as tremolite asbestos (a naturally occurring asbestos) has been detected in some samples after laboratory testing.
Importantly, respiratory asbestos has not been detected in any of the tested samples. The release of respiratory asbestos fibres from the sand is unlikely to occur in its current state, 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.
What consumers should do
- Stop using the products immediately.
- 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 product 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 recalls@educationalvantage.com for guidance around disposal and seeking a full refund.
