Episode Details

Kmart just paid over $15,000 to a Christchurch couple after a tribunal ruled they were responsible for asbestos in their play sand — a product that sold 67,000 units and forced schools to shut down. A Hamilton mom, who spent thousands on testing and replacements after her son’s sandcastle toy was recalled, finally got her claim accepted after pushing back and citing new research showing airborne asbestos — a win that’s reignited hope for other families still fighting. Kmart hasn’t responded to questions about how this ruling affects pending claims or how many customers they’ve compensated. One parent, Lee, is calling for accountability and urging others to keep pushing — saying this case could force regulators to act and prevent future disasters.
