Your immediate action can help convince CBS to swiftly recall a toxic toy that contains deadly asbestos but that is being sold nationwide this holiday season. An independent laboratory testing for the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) found tremolite -- a deadly form of asbestos -- in the toy fingerprint powder in the "CSI: Crime Scene InvestigationTM Fingerprint Examination Kit." Although ADAO announced the test results more than two weeks ago, on November 28, the toy -- made in China -- remains on toy shelves across the country and is still available online. The fingerprint kit is one of this holiday season's biggest sellers, according to a November 27 Seattle Post Intelligencer report by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Andrew Schneider.
