Andrew Schneider at the Seattle Post Intelligencer has an article up today on the toys that contain asbestos, "Asbestos turns up in toys, children's clay".
1) The CSI Fingerprint Examination Kit (made in China, manufactured and distributed by Planet Toys in New York City):
"This model has an extensive array of plastic tools, inks and three types of very fine powders -- white, black and glow-in-the-dark. The analysis done for the victim's organization found high levels of two types of asbestos in the white and the glow powder."
2) Art Skills' Clay Bucket, "asbestos was found in six colors of clay" (clay from Thailand); 3 varieties of Ja-Ru Toy Clay (Omnimodels in Jacksonville, Fla., clay from China).
3) "Asbestos also was also found in hair rollers, hot plates and small appliances imported from China and sold in major drug store chains."
