Popular BBC program Antiques Roadshow has come under criticism after showcasing a World War Two gas mask without issuing an asbestos warning. These masks were made with asbestos in the filters and are hazardous to the wearer. The concerns are that people, including children, are now going to try on these old gas masks and be exposed to asbestos.
BBC have since issued an apology and a warning about the masks.
