Labour calls for retailers who sold asbestos sand to be held to account
Retailers who have sold children's coloured play sand potentially laced with asbestos need to be held to account, according to Labour's consumer Affairs spokesperson. The contamination scare has prompted a recall of several brands, including another one just this afternoon. It's illegal to import any products with asbestos and its up to sellers to make sure any toys are up to safety standard. Labour Consumer Affairs spokesperson Arena Williams spoke to Lisa Owen.
