<ul><li> As CSI Files previously <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/news/140408_01.shtml">reported</a>, lawsuits were filed against CBS Corp, Planet Toys and several retailers because tests determined that the <I>CSI</I> Fingerprint Examination Kit contained asbestos. A proposed <A class="link" HREF="http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/proposed-settlement-with-cbs-and,880055.shtml">settlement</a> was reached last week in the class action suit. If passed, the settlement would provide refunds and implement a nationwide recall of the kits.<p><li> <I>CSI: New York</I> star <font color=yellow>Gary Sinise</font> (Mac Taylor) denied rumors that he wanted to pursue a political career or run for president. "That's kinda silly," the actor told <A class="link" HREF="http://www.creators.com/lifestylefeatures/fashion-and-entertainment/hollywood-exclusive/ask-stacy-2009-07-04.html">Ask Stacy</a>. "I'm not considering running for president." He added, "I remember what <font color=yellow>Bob Hope</font> said about it when they asked him the same question — 'I don't think I'd want to. They don't pay enough and the house is too small.'"<p><li> Former <I>CSI: Crime Scene Investigation</I> actress <font color=yellow>Jorja Fox</font> (Sara Sidle) was made an official Animal Defenders International (ADI) Ambassador this year. She wrote a letter to Bolivian president <font color=yellow>Evo Morales</font> to congratulate him for his country's recent legislation to ban animals in travelling circuses. In her letter, Fox wrote, "The fact that Bolivia will be the first South American country with a national ban on animal circuses, including both wild and domesticated species, is a tremendous credit to the compassion and progressive thinking of yourself and your nation."
