Description

Parents caught up in the play sand asbestos contamination scare are increasingly frustrated with retailer Kmart refusing to cover their testing and clean up costs. Several of the coloured play sands have been voluntarily recalled after some of them tested positive for asbestos. Some parents have paid for the play sand to be tested and results have come back positive. But Kmart is refusing to reimburse for the costs of that and any clean up. Lecturer in Law at Auckland University of Technology, Christopher Whitehead spoke to Lisa Owen.
