Reason the product is recalled 
The product is being recalled because it may include asbestos, which is a prohibited 
substance in Australia.
The hazards to consumers
The product may pose a risk to health as asbestos has been detected in a sample after 
laboratory testing.
Importantly, respirable asbestos has not been detected in any of the tested samples. The 
release of respirable 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
1. Stop using the product immediately.
2. For safe disposal advice from the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency, 
visit the ACCC Product Safety website.
3. Contact your place of purchase, with proof of purchase and safe disposal of the product 
in accordance with the guidelines above, to request a refund.
