Safety Update: Decorative Sand Recall

St Giles – Safety Update: Decorative Sand Recall

Dear clients and families,

You may have seen recent information about a recall of certain Kinetic Sand products in Australia.

We want to reassure you that while some decorative/coloured sand has been located at our sites, the brands we use are not the same products listed in the recall notice.

Following our assessment, we believe the risk to clients, families, and staff is extremely low. However, as a precaution and to ensure everyone’s safety, we:

  • Have removed and disposed of all decorative/coloured and kinetic sand from use.
  • Continue to monitor advice from regulators and suppliers.

Client safety and wellbeing remain our top priority. We will provide an update if any new information becomes available.

If you have any questions or would like to talk with us further, please contact Emma Woolley, Risk & Compliance Manager either via phone: 03-6345-7333 or riskandcompliance@stgiles.org.au.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Honni Pitt

Chief Executive Officer
