My son put a Crayola Mini Twistable into his mouth. The crayola got stuck to his upper lip because of a space between the plastic (the end piece twists to turn the crayola out) and when pulled free from his mouth it caused bleeding. He has a small chunk of skin missing due to this incident and crying.

My daughter was coloring with a crayola twistable. She was lying in the floor and somehow managed to puncture herself under the chin. There was a decent size laceration with a lot of blood. I took her immediately to the emergency room. They cleaned her up and they were able to close the puncture wound with glue and butterfly sutures. They also performed a X-ray to confirm there were not any fragments of the crayola in the wound. She was not running, she did not fall, there was no force to cause the type of wound she received. She is bandaged up and she is sleeping. She will probably be really sore tomorrow and they said it will probably scar. There was a lot of blood and she was terrified, we are just happy she is okay and it wasn't worse.

Consumer wanted to report that her and her daughter were coloring with a box of crayola wax crayons and a piece of sharp metal in the caryon. The box had 24 wax crayons in it. The consumer was coloring with a brown crayon and had some difficulty using it. When she further inspected the crayon she found that there was metal in the crayon. The color is brown cafe brun. She was coloring for about 15 minutes before she noticed the caryon with metal. She called the manufacturer and they decided to send her 3 $5 dollar coupon for crayola and a coloring page. They asked that she return the crayon to them and she has not done so. She has not called the retailer. She nor her daughter were injured.

While my son was coloring, he told me that one crayon was not working. Upon inspection, there is a metal bearing ball inside the crayon. It is a green Playskool crayon

We purchased Crayola Doodlers Bath Gel Crayons at Target. While bathing my son, the gel accidentally got into his eye. It caused severe burning and irritation. We contacted poison control and they advised us to flush his eye with water for 15 minutes. We did that but it was still red and swollen. The following morning, his eye was still red and swollen. We took him to the doctor who said he got a bacterial infection from the gel.

I bought the toy for my daughter from Toys R Us. It's Lalaloopsy Color Me ( Squiggles N. Shapes )which they could color or stamped on the doll. After an hour, her eyes were red. She didn't rub her eyes during the time she was playing. The markers that come with the set are toxic since the warning written on the them but small, hardly to be read. The warning "this product contains ingredients which could cause for idiosyncratic responses, such as eczema-type allergic reaction in certain susceptible individuals. If skin rash, sensitization or other allergic reaction occurs, seek medical attention immediately".

Hi- I purchased a set of block crayons at Costco for my 16 month old, now 17 months and I have taken away the animal shaped crayons this week. She is able to put the animal shaped one completely in her mouth. The package indicates it is for 1 year old and up, but seeing how she can easliy put an entire animal crayon in her mouth, I disagree. She is fine, but I was momentarily concerned when she at first did not want to take the cat crayon out of her mouth and whether she would choke on it. She repeated this about 30 minutes later and then I took the animals away, which is disapointing as she loved them and cried. I think this is an issue and needs to be addressed. I think they are very cute and she loves stacking them but they need to be bigger. They are made by:http://blockcrayon.com/products.php I ahve contacted them as well. [REDACTED]

I saw the "Block Crayons" product for sale in Costco. See http://blockcrayon.com/ Product is labeled as being for children "1+" years old. Some of the crayons (animal shapes) are rounded and about the size of a half-dollar coin. Presumably, they would be worn down by use as crayons and made even smaller. If crushed, I would imagine that the crayon material would shatter into small pieces too. While I didn't read all print on the package, I didn't see anything prominent about supervising children while using the product, or removing pieces that become too small. I don't think these crayons would be safe for children who still put things in their mouth, and most 1 year olds still do this.
