What risks?

To avoid the slightest incident that could lead to a scandal, brands are being very cautious these days. And in case of doubt about the dangers of a food or an object offered for sale, manufacturers prefer to anticipate by launching a product recall. Determined to prioritize child safety, Crayola therefore published an alert on the site Consumption reminder. The information sheet describes a chemical risk due to dangerous components suspected of being present in paint tubes. To know :
