Recent tests have shown that a toy fingerprinting kit contains asbestos. Planet Toys is the manufacturer of the kit. Planet Toys has asked stores to stop selling its CSI Fingerprint Examination Kit. The company is planning to investigate the health risk posed by the kit. The U.S. government has not yet decided whether to issue a recall of the asbestos-containing kit.
Asbestos lawyers contend that exposure to even a small amount of asbestos increase the risk of developing serious diseases, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Mesothelioma is a terminal cancer of the lining of the lungs caused by breathing in asbestos fibers.
