Attention Parents: Asbestos Found in Playskool Crayons

It’s back to school time, which means parents are venturing out to collect all the items on their children’s back to school shopping lists. However, there is one item parents should avoid for the time being, according to a recent report released by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG). Earlier this week, the U.S. PIRG revealed that a 36-pack of Playskool crayons currently being sold at Dollar Tree, Amazon, and eBay “tested positive for trace amounts of asbestos.”
