Ikea has been accused of “hypocrisy” amid a call for the furniture giant to pull a range of kitchen benchtops due to its links to a fatal disease.

“It is hard to see Ikea Australia’s latest sustainability report as anything more than greenwashing hypocrisy when Ikea completely ignores the consequences of the killer stone that is creating a once-in-a-generation workplace human tragedy.” Engineered stone benchtops, which have become a feature in many Australian kitchens and bathrooms, contain a high concentration of crystalline silica.

“The cost to industry, while real and relevant, cannot outweigh the significant costs to Australian workers, their families, and the broader community that result from exposure to respirable crystalline silica from engineered stone,” it said.“Ikea Australia works closely with custom-made engineered stone suppliers to ensure they are following the highest safety standards for environmental and working conditions,” a spokesperson said.
