Christchurch Couple Seeks Kmart Compensation Over Asbestos Sand
A couple from Christchurch has taken Kmart to the disputes tribunal following exposure to asbestos-contaminated sand. The couple's three-year-old twins played with the product, which was part of a recall notice issued by the retailer in November last year. The family was instructed to evacuate their home after the sand tested positive for asbestos. Eli Crisp is cited in relation to the case. The ordeal reportedly cost the family tens of thousands of dollars. The couple is seeking compensation under the Consumer Guarantees Act. The incident involves the contamination found within the sand product.
