MONTGOMERY, ALA. (September 21, 2009) - Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange has officially designated Saturday, Sept. 26, as Mesothelioma Awareness Day in Montgomery.

It was nearly two years ago that independent research uncovered the presence of deadly asbestos in a child's toy, based on the popular CBS television program, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. It was found that the CSI toy's fingerprinting powder contained asbestos. The fingerprinting powder is included in CSI-themed investigation toy kits including the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation™ Fingerprint Examination Kit (CSI Exam Kit) and the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation™ Forensic Lab Kit (CSI Lab Kit). This week, a proposed settlement of a nationwide class action against CBS Broadcasting, Inc. and major toy retailers would, if approved, give cash refunds to consumers and effectively implement a nationwide recall of the toy kits.
