A recent article in the Seattle Times raised safety concerns about the materials contained in certain US-manufactured brands of crayons. It must be stressed that no doubt has ever been cast on the safety of products in this or any other publication.

However, because the safety of our customers and staff is always the foremost concern at, ACTS, an US-based independent laboratory, was commissioned to analyze and report on the safety of crayons.

We're pleased to report that, after thorough testing, all crayon products were found to be completely safe and contained no toxic materials of any kind.

The result of the tests, and an article relevant to this issue are here for your reference.
