Why it was recalled
The product is being recalled because samples have tested positive for tremolite asbestos, which is a prohibited substance in Australia.
Hazard
The product may cause a risk to health as asbestos has been detected in some samples after laboratory testing. 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.
