Parents beware. The popular toy, the “CSI” fingerprinting kits, marketed alongside CBS’ popular television series, was pulled from shelves last year after accusations of asbestos contamination. Planet Toys, Inc, the company that manufactured the toy, has stated that multiple tests have shown no signs of the carcinogen, but pulled the toys following a lawsuit by the nonprofit Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization.
If you have purchased this toy, you have until March 30th to file as part of the class action lawsuit. In response to the lawsuit and other financial difficulties associated with the recall, the company is filing forChapter 7 bankruptcy.
