Description

Consumers are being warned to assume imported products including kids play things are not being tested and its best to avoid anything that could be contaminated or faulty. An asbestos scare has prompted a recall of several brands of children coloured play sand. It expanded yesterday with two more products added. Some of the coloured sands are laced with Tremolite asbestos, despite it being illegal to import any product containing asbestos. University of Auckland law professor Alex Sims spoke to Lisa Owen.
