CNN has recently produced a segment following up on a story first reported in December, alerting the public to the presence of asbestos in a “CSI:” toy fingerprint kit, based on the popular television show about crime scene investigation. A fingerprinting kit in the toy contains asbestos fibers.

This was also reported by the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization, in a report released Nov. 28, 2007, about the presence of asbestos in everyday products.

Watch the video, which also features a 35-year-old woman who has mesothelioma, which she contracted from breathing asbestos fibers brought home on her father’s work clothes.
