An official ACCC notice concerns Kadink Decorative sand 10g 6 pack. 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. Published 2025-11-13.
What to do now
Stop using the product immediately. Wear disposable gloves and a mask and place the sand in a heavy-duty plastic bag and double tape it securely and keep it out of reach of children. Do not dispose of the products in general waste.
