Alarms over a borer infestation have been raised after a Northland mother found holes and sawdust in her recently purchased wooden serving tray.
Kmart has recalled the line, and has warned customers to be on the lookout for any signs of the invasive insects.
Consumer NZ's Jon Duffy told Heather du Plessis-Allan that it's important to report situations like this to MPI, so that they can track the distribution of the shipment and recall the items.
He said that if you have had losses as a result of a infested item, such as fumigating or damages to your property, you are able to claim compensation under the Consumer Guarantee Act.
