Listen "Parents worry homes may be contaminated as play sand recalled"
Episode Synopsis
Dismayed parents are grappling with whether their homes could be contaminated as they try to rid them of play sand that could have traces of asbestos. They are angry and feel there has been no real responsibility taken for the dodgy sand, and that the buck has been passed. 24 schools and 16 early childhood centres have closed - or have plans to - after a significant recall last week of educational colours rainbow sand, creatistics coloured sand and four products from K-Mart. They're going through special testing, but some parents want to know why the same isn't being offered to them. Kim Baker Wilson reports.
