Make Your Own Unicorn Sand Ornament
Reason for Recall / Hazard
The product is being recalled because the sand may include asbestos, which is a prohibited substance in Australia.
Product Description & Identification
Reason / Defects: The product is being recalled because the sand may include asbestos, which is a prohibited substance in Australia. Hazards: The products 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. Contact Kmart or Target with proof of purchase for a full refund. For safe disposal advice from the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency, visit the ACCC Product Safety website . Important message from the ACCC to consumers: The ACCC continues to work with health and safety, and other relevant agencies at the state, territory and Commonwealth levels as this issue evolves. For safe disposal advice from the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency and health information from the Environmental Health Standing Committee (enHealth), visit the ACCC Product Safety website .
