Although the CPSC and Binney & Smith say Crayola crayons are safe, will you do anything about talc in crayons?
News reports that talc used in crayons may contain transitional talc fibers and cleavage fragments that are frequently misidentified as asbestos has caused confusion. Because of that confusion, we are volunteering to reformulate our crayons to eliminate transitional talc fibers. We expect that we’ll be able to begin producing reformulated crayons that are equally safe, with the same quality, within a year.
