Mothballs have been banned in New Zealand with warnings the chemicals in them can be fatal.

The Ministry of Health is warning all mothballs and flakes in New Zealand contained the chemicals camphor, naphthalene, and dichlorobenzene.

"These chemicals pose a significant health risk to the New Zealand public if eaten or ingested, particularly by small children," the ministry said.

Naphthalene and dichlorobenzene also potentially caused cancer.

The ministry is warning the public to return any mothballs or throw them away.

"There have not been any deaths in New Zealand attributed to mothballs but on average every three years, two people require hospital treatment for eating mothballs or flakes," it said.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has asked all retailers to remove products from the shelves.
