From February, certain consumer sand products, including toys, will need to be tested before they can be sold to make sure they are asbestos-free.
Since November 2025, multiple play, hobby and decorative products containing sand have tested positive for asbestos.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is aware of the research and provided some funding to Associate Professor Dr Terri-Ann Berry at the Auckland University of Technology to study whether asbestos in sand becomes airborne when the sand is interacted with.
