ffs now I gotta worry about sand too? What's next, asbestos in my Weet-Bix?
Bloody typical, they'll ban the coloured sand but let the real issues slide. Priorities.
Worked with asbestos for 20 years, it's not as dangerous as they make out if you don't breath it in. But kids playing with it? That's just negligence from the supplier.
mate, difference between proper handling and kids inhaling it for fun. Supplier should be sued.
ok so is any sand safe now or just the coloured stuff? i'm so confused
As a student nurse, I've seen cases of mesothelioma. This is not a joke. Ban it all, who cares about the profit margin?

Exactly. My uncle died from that stuff. People don't get how slow and painful it is.
cope. But seriously, read the study. It's not that simple.
more. Some of us have actual problems.

yeah ikr, i'm just gonna stick to the beach
Watch the government form a committee, spend three years 'investigating', then do nothing. Classic.
stuffed. It's your kids playing with it too.
tbh i just let my kids play in the dirt at the park, never bought sand. maybe i'm the clever one lol
