Additional children’s sand products that may contain asbestos have been recalled

Additional children’s sand products that may contain asbestos have been recalled. This follows the recall notice issued by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on 12 November 2025.

Additional products recalled by Kmart include:

• 14-piece Sand Castle Building Set
• Blue, Green and Pink Magic Sand

Images and detailed product descriptions are available in the recall notice. The products were sold at Kmart and Target stores.

SafeWork SA advises consumers should:

• Stop using the product.
   
• Determine whether and where the product is present and then isolate/restrict access to that area (isolation should include turning off air conditioners and ceiling fans in the potentially contaminated area and closing windows and doors).
   
• The person conducting the business or undertaking will need to engage a licensed asbestos assessor or competent person. The licensed assessor or competent person will assess the risk and determine the appropriate remediation action and, if necessary, the class of licensed asbestos removalist required to conduct the removal work.
   
• Once the removal work has occurred to the satisfaction of the licensed assessor, a clearance certificate will be issued by the assessor.
