12885 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Further to 59125, is the Minister aware that Kmart NZ sold approximately 864 units of Licensed Sensory Activity Sets: Frozen Bluey and Paw Patrol which has returned positive results for the presence of asbestos and has now been recalled?

Cameron Brewer: Yes. The presence of asbestos in any consumer product, particularly those intended for children, is unacceptable and deeply concerning.
