Show Notes
MBIE says it's working hard to deal with issues regarding sand products potentially contaminated with asbestos.
EC Rainbow Sand 1.3 kilos, Creatistics Coloured Sand, 1 kilo, and four Kmart NZ Magic Sand products have been recalled.
MBIE Product Safety Spokesperson Ian Caplin says they are acting with an abundance of caution - and people shouldn't panic.
"The potential impact of asbestos exposure is a long-term thing, people don't need to take immediate steps to manage their health."
Anyone concerned about health effects should call Healthline.
