Reason for Recall / Hazard
The product is being recalled because samples have tested positive for tremolite asbestos, which is a prohibited substance in Australia.
Product Description & Identification
Reason / Defects: The product is being recalled because samples have tested positive for tremolite 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.
