Mainly because I don't have time to look crap up and my child seems to ingest EVERYTHING and secondly, because I'm lazy. I always figure if it's important, I'll hear about it on facebook. Right? :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777400850337711004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460752002305157.post-75030826797952918162013-03-15T14:42:48.895-07:002013-03-15T14:42:48.895-07:00I'm sure he will be fine, but I wouldn't a...I'm sure he will be fine, but I wouldn't assume non-toxic. Poison control is an excellent resource and could provide you great guidance. The thing about things from China....even if they label it non-toxic, it wouldn't necessarily mean that it is. In the industry I work in, Chinese companies copy American products...and will include the stampings and everything, even if they don't meet the standards. Hugs to you, we have all been in that freak out moment when the tiny one put something they shouldn't in their mouth. ;)Nicole @ Pencil Skirts and Noodle Necklaceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216003782039779761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460752002305157.post-64726571869663716962013-03-15T12:32:12.436-07:002013-03-15T12:32:12.436-07:00Not a mother yet but I am a teacher of little peop...Not a mother yet but I am a teacher of little people and I think while its not ideal to be eating ink like that its probably ok. Surely when creating such things all manner of possible situations are taken into account. Admittedly I haven't thought about it too much either and when I get my baby I bet my ideas will change!babycrazykiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188739797201825434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10460752002305157.post-91176026956974612472013-03-15T12:01:33.496-07:002013-03-15T12:01:33.496-07:00I mostly assume that they aren't, but even whe...I mostly assume that they aren't, but even when they clearly state they aren't, I still worry. Crayons, for example. Non-toxic. Won't hurt them if ingested, but it does turn their poop funny colors. I still don't let The Boy eat them. Why? Because I'm of the opinion that everything can be dangerous if you get too much of it and since I have no way of knowing what "too much" crayon is, I'd rather not find out! This is not to say I'm overprotective...I don't think I am...I just don't let him eat the crayons!<br /><br />Not all things are labeled as non-toxic even if they aren't, though, I don't think. I'm not one for playing that guessing game - detergent, for example, does not say it IS toxic, but it will most definitely make you very sick. So common sense with a dose of "better to be safe". One would think, however, that all children's items would be non-toxic, knowing that children put every damn thing in their mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
