Asbestos-Contaminated Sand Recalled in Australia

On November 14th, a major recall was issued in Australia for colored sand products containing asbestos, leading to school closures and precautions. The ACCC announced the recall, stating that while the risk was low, it still posed a potential danger. The affected products, imported from China and sold across Australia, were distributed by several retailers, including Officeworks. New Zealand also issued a voluntary recall. Officials are now working to remove these products from schools and early childhood centers. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
