CSI Finger Printing Kit recalled

CBS Broadcasting has been given a proposed settlement from the Public Justice and the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization to give cash refunds to consumers and implement a nationwide recall of toy science kits based on the television series, CSI.

The toy kits – the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Fingerprint Examination Kit (CSI Exam Kit) and the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Forensic Lab Kit (CSI Lab Kit) – were found to have tremolite in the white fingerprint powder. Tremolite is one of the deadliest forms of asbestos.

Consumers that bought or received the item as a gift can fill out a claim form by January 14, 2010 at www.csitoysettlement.com.

“We urge everyone to get these products out of your homes and away from children, and to send in your claim form to get a refund,” said Public Justice’s Victoria Ni, co-counsel in the case.

There is no known save level of asbestos exposure. If you or your kids has this toy please get rid of it.
