Comments on: CBS finally recalls CSI crime-lab toy that contains asbestos http://www.coldtruth.com/2009/07/06/cbs-finally-recalls-csi-crime-lab-toy-that-contains-asbestos/ Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:16:18 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Kim, Ashburn, Virginia http://www.coldtruth.com/2009/07/06/cbs-finally-recalls-csi-crime-lab-toy-that-contains-asbestos/comment-page-1/#comment-142 Kim, Ashburn, Virginia Wed, 08 Jul 2009 19:28:33 +0000 http://www.coldtruth.com/?p=163624#comment-142 Thank you for this insightful article; it is refreshing to see a news piece that actually covers news that matters! As someone who has lost a family member to asbestos disease, I am hopeful that your investigative coverage will help to fuel increased efforts to ban asbestos at all levels. It is particularly troublesome and frightening to know that asbestos is still being included in products for children. If ADAO had not conducted these tests, we may have never known. I am glad something is finally being done. Thank you for this insightful article; it is refreshing to see a news piece that actually covers news that matters!

It saddens me deeply they would go even further to use it in our children’s products It is well known it takes just one inhaled fiber of asbestos to cause illness or even death. Special thanks to Andrew Schneider and ADAO for their ongoing dedication to fight to ban asbestos, help its victims, and keep us informed on the harmful products we are still unaware that are still on the market today. Please visit http://www.banasbestos.us/, and help support this ban.

For decades, Libby Montana was ignored by government agencies about the poisoning of it's citizens from the WR Grace company operating a vermiculite mine contaminated with tremolite, the worst of the worst type of fibers. Years of debate in Congress still falls on deaf ears. It is outrageous that children are now targets of items that should have been pulled off the shelves almost 2 years ago when scientific evidence proved it to be harmful. Refunds and recalls don't prevent disease. I have lost so many friends and my own father to mesothelioma that I simply weep at the injustice that is being perpetrated upon innocent people. Our governmental agencies are failing to serve the best interest of American citizens. Why don't they hear the cry for action to BAN ASBESTOS. Please write your congressional leaders: http://www.banasbestos.us/ Thank you again Mr. Schneider for being a voice to bring awareness. A TOTAL BAN OF ASBESTOS HAS NEVER BEEN MORE URGENT!!
