14 piece Sand Castle Building Set, Blue,Green and Pink Magic Sand At Kmart and Target, ensuring the safety of our products for our customers and team members is our number one priority. Whenever there is any potential risk associated with a product, we act swiftly and proactively. The New Zealand regulator has advised us that it has detected traces of asbestos in a sand product in New Zealand. This is the Active Sand Tub (14-piece sand castle building set). We are taking immediate precautionary measures, including withdrawing all sand-based toys from sale and recalling four Anko branded products in Australia and New Zealand being the product tested by the NZ regulator, plus three other sand products from the same supplier (Anko Magic Sand in blue, green and pink). The products affected by this recall, are listed here Importantly, respirable asbestos has not been detected in any of the tested samples. The test result indicated tremolite asbestos had been detected. 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. All customers should stop using these products immediately and place the product in a heavy-duty plastic bag. Customers should not dispose of the product in general waste. Information on the disposal of Asbestos waste, including disposal facilities in your state or territory can be found on The Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency website. If customers have any questions, we encourage them to reach out to Kmart Customer Care on 1800 124 125 or online here or via Target Customer Care on 1300 753 567 or online here. We understand how concerning this will be to many customers who have purchased these products and apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.
