CBS Recalls CSI Fingerprint Kit

Looks like CBS has finally headed warnings from a grassroots consumer group and pulled the very popular CSI Fingerprint Examination Kit. Earlier this month, the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) reported that two of the kit’s powders had dangerous levels of asbestos. The group spent “$165,000 to pay for independent laboratory testing of children’s toys and other household products.”

CBS, who has been critizied for not pulling the kit soon enough.

“Given the grave health risks associated with asbestos exposure, ADAO agrees with CBS that the toy kits should be removed from retail shelves. They should also be placed out of reach in homes until the testing dispute is resolved,” commentedLinda Reinstein, ADAO Executive Director. “Once asbestos is inhaled or swallowed, the damage is irreversible.”

Hopefully they’ll reissue a safer kit after the holidays.
