CBS Broadcasting has called for a recall of all CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Fingerprint  Examination Kits and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Field Kits after it was found out that the fingerprint powder included with the toys might be tainted with asbestos.

The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) has evaluated toys and common household products amounting to hundreds so as to find out if they consist of asbestos. The white powder found in the CSI kits used to pick up fingerprints had a small bit of the hazardous mineral.

ADAO and CBS together with Planet Toys are working together to guard the  children from toys that may have asbestos in them. Those who have already bought the particular toys are advised to keep them away up till the analysis argument about the toys is settled.

Asbestos is regarded as dangerous to everyone and even more deadly for children when breathed in.
