What are the risks for your child?
If these paint tubes were recalled, it is because they contain allergenic substances such as CMR and MIT.
CMR is a toxic and dangerous chemical agent which induces, in the medium or long term, carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic effects for reproduction. MIT is an allergenic substance for the skin. This type of allergy manifests itself with eczema, redness, swelling, sometimes oozing and severe itching. Symptoms usually occur 1 to 2 days after contact with the ingredient, at the location on the body that came into contact with it.
Thus, these two unauthorized substances and beyond the regulatory thresholds make the product dangerous. Furthermore, it presents a risk of poisoning.
To protect your child’s health, make sure that he or she no longer uses the product. Do not hesitate to contact the point of sale. To compensate for this error, it is possible to have the tubes of paint reimbursed.
