CSI Fingerprint Kit Toy Might Contain Friable Asbestos

January 3rd, 2008

Everyone is familiar with the ill effects of asbestos and the many diseases, including mesothelioma cancer, it has been linked to. Malignant mesothelioma cancer has been found to be strongly connected to exposure to Friable asbestosfriable asbestos fibers. So strong is this connection that companies constructing buildings using asbestos sheeting for insulation are requited by law to let people in the vicinity know about it, so they can take necessary precautions.

This makes it all the more baffling that asbestos has been found in children’s toys. The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) has sent a strongly worded letter to CBS, and distributors and licensers of the CSI Crime Scene Investigation Fingerprint Examination Kit, insisting that these toy companies protect children for the harmful effects of inhaling asbestos.

They point particularly to the CSI Crime Scene Investigation Fingerprint Examination Kit, that’s been inspired by the show CSI. What’s even more shocking is that the asbestos contained in these toys that are produced in China (where else?) is already in powdered form, and children are almost 100 percent likely to inhale it when they play with the toy because they are required to blow the asbestos off while taking fingerprints!

Apparently there’s no need to wait for small magnets to fall out and ingest, and no coating of lead that can only be consumed when you actually put the toy in your mouth. This toy manages to cause extreme harm to a young child by merely playing with it.

The ADAO has called for an immediate and complete recall of the toy. Whether that happens or not, millions of these toys have already found their way into homes around the country over the holiday season. ADAO has demanded that consumers be made aware of the dangers of playing with asbestos, and for arrangements to be made for the safe disposal of the asbestos tainted powder.

If you or a loved one has developed mesothelioma or asbestosis due to exposure to asbestos-contaminated products, contact the California personal injury lawyers at The Reeves Law Group immediately for a free consultation.
