Quite concerning. I have quarantined ours until our Compliance Officer decides what he wants us to do.

NSW DoE cleared all of yours years ago, our heat mats where also subject to tests, so was our Talc if you all remember, I do believe the company's also put out letters like cleared of all Asbestos on a few items.

Metal mesh mats with ceramic centres were banned recently from schools in Britain and New Zealand after they were found to contain tremolite asbestos, even though they had been certified asbestos-free by suppliers.
Not worried about our's ....no ceramic center ....just a metal guaze :thumbup:
