Recall of Stretcherz Stretch Squad 4 Pack

Woolworths Group

Friday 9 January:  Woolworths is recalling the following product: Stretcherz Stretch Squad 4 Pack, containing 8 stretchable figures. The toys contain sand and are designed to stretch to over three times their original size. 

 

These products were sold in Woolworths Supermarket stores nationally, and online, from 10 September 2025 until 18 December 2025.

 

The items are being recalled as the sand inside the 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 visit www.woolworths.com.au/shop/discover/about-us/product-recalls
