ADAO Reports on Asbestos Found in Consumer Products and Toys
In November 2007, the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) released the
results of a detailed study and evaluation of consumer goods and toys that were
found to contain asbestos.
The results
of the study, in which products were tested by three separate laboratories in
blind studies, revealed that the following home improvement products were found
to have significant levels of asbestos:
Spackling paste and window glazing products manufactured by the home
improvement products company DAP Inc.
Rubberized leak stopping roof repair product manufactured by Gardner-Gibson,
Inc.
High Performance Duct Tape, manufactured in Canada for 3M.
Of even
more concern was the results of a study was the discovery of asbestos dust in a
toy. The CSI Fingerprint Examination Kit, produced by New York City-based Planet
Toys, was found to contain asbestos in the white fingerprint powder included in
the kit.
