A message from The Sand Card Company
We want to reassure our community: We have never used these products or imported sand from China. Since the beginning, we’ve worked exclusively with a trusted Malaysian supplier whose product is certified and conforms to international safety standards.
Malaysia’s sand does not contain naturally occurring asbestos and the country began limiting and partially banning asbestos use in 1999. In contrast, China continues to mine and use asbestos in industrial applications.
While Consumer Protection has recommended a temporary hold on coloured sand in play, we fully support this precaution and have paused use until further notice.
Our supplier is already preparing updated testing and certification to ensure full transparency and consumer confidence.
Thank you for your trust and support. We’ll keep you informed.
: A range of children's sand products, sold nationally at Officeworks, Educating Kids, Modern Teaching Aids and Zart Art between 2020 and 2025, have been recalled due to asbestos fears.
The recall was issued by supplier Educational Colours for three products labelled as Kadink Sand (1.3kg), Educational Colours - Rainbow Sand (1.3kg), and Creatistics - Coloured Sand (1kg).
