Friday 19 December: Woolworths is recalling the following products: Stretcherz Stretch Squad Dinosaur Figures in all 12 different dinosaur designs. The Dinosaur toys contain sand and designed to stretch to over 3 times their original size.
These products were sold in Woolworths Supermarket stores nationally, and online, from 16 October 2025 until 17 December 2025.
The items are being recalled as the sand inside the dinosaur figures may contain asbestos, which is a prohibited substance in Australia. The sand inside the figures may cause a risk to health if the product is damaged and the sand is released, as tremolite asbestos has been detected in some samples after laboratory testing.
Consumers should immediately cease using the product. For safe disposal advice from the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency, customers should visit the ACCC Product Safety website. Customers can contact Woolworths directly for a refund.
Woolworths takes product safety seriously and apologises for any inconvenience caused by this recall. Customers can call the toll-free customer service number for more information on 1800 103 515 or
