An official ACCC notice concerns Educational Colours - Rainbow Sand (1.3kg), Creatistics - Coloured Sand (1kg), Kadink - Coloured Decorative Sand (1.3kg) and Kadink - Cotton Sensory Sand (700g). The products may cause a risk to health as tremolite and chrysotile asbestos have 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 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. Published 2025-11-12.
