To whom it may concern, My wife purchased your 8-pack Washable Dot Markers listed on the Amazon website on July 18 2019. We have never used the product until August 2, 2020. Your Product: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ADUE85O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Our daughter was coloring w/ the blue marker and it got on her hands and she wiped her face. The marker caused chemical burns on her face. It is unacceptable that your products are marketed as safe and non-toxic.

I purchased and hello kitty pen pencil, paper kind of like a little school kit for my 5 yr old upon opening the box and the small packages inside there was one labeled pen. To shock it was not a pen but a long razor blade I tried to reach someone at the website posted on the box www.hellokitty.co.kr but it says it is under construction. I thank god I was the one who opened what appears to be a pink pen with hello kitty on the front and not my toddler who could have caused serious injuries to herself.

We purchased our son the Crayola Glow Explosion paper and marker set. When we started coloring, we noticed the markers had a funny/bad smell to them. Since the box said it was non-toxic and it was from a trusted company like Crayola, we figured the smell would dissipate over time. We hung our artwork (2 of the full size glow sheets) in his room around 9pm before bed. The next morning, approx 9am, I opened his door to go in, and realized the smell had completely consumed his large bedroom. My son complained of a stuffy nose and dry/scratchy throat. I immediately threw the paper away, and within about an hour of being in the living room, his nose and throat cleared up. I have been afraid to let him try it again.

The consumer stated that he heard his 3 years old granddaughter choking and when he went to check on her, she coughed the metal portion that holds the eraser. The consumer stated that the pencils eraser was approximately ¾ of an inch and the pencil was double the size of the normal pencil width. This particular product is identified specifically for children! The consumer stated that he did not need to do anything to assist his granddaughter she had coughed the piece on her own. The consumer stated that four pencils came in the pack that he purchased and all of the eraser’s metal holders were loose. The consumer stated that he email the manufacturer and was awaiting a response. The consumer believes that this product should be investigated since it poses a choking hazard to children and anyone who puts pencils in their mouth.

Lucky Shot .308 Retractable Twist Pen was in patient pocket and exploded causing laceration and shrapnel injury. It is a pen made from a bullet. bought at academy sports, Product was in pocket and not in use at the time. Likely had left over gun powder and static electricity set off explosion is my guess.

My son had a pen and was drawing. He put the top part of the pen in his mouth, like many adults even do, and must have bit down inside the hollowed clip part where the plastic SCRIPTO logo was located. It had a little give to it so it ended up bouncing back and trapping part of his top lip inside the clip of the pen. He was bleeding and screaming. We called the ambulance whose paramedics would not take the pen off themselves but wanted to drive us to the ER where the doctors could figure out how to remove the pen from his lip. It took three doctors to pry the pen off of his lip. I contacted Scripto with this information. They seemed helpful at first and asked me to send along pictures and the pen itself since I had brought it home with me after it was removed from my son's lip. After I sent it, I waited to hear back. More than six months later with numerous unanswered/hang up phone calls to their person, [REDACTED], who handles these situations, I finally go ahold of him through Scripto. He told me he was not responsible for this, that he was sorry about my son, but that he couldn't help anymore, and that we would have to agree to disagree. I told him that I would have likes the respect for him to at least call me back and let me know this information since it had been more than six months. He said he was busy and had a lot to do. While Scripto itself is not making pens anymore, I just saw a University that had pens out at their booth in February 2016 with the same type of clip. If pen companies don't know about this clip, then they won't know about the dangers. They will continue making them, and more people could potentially get hurt.

A relative made me aware of what looks like a VERY hazardous product being sold on Amazon.com -- a pure lead pencil, at http://www.amazon.com/Jac-Zagoory-Beta-Inkless-Pen/dp/B005GLYHLG.

The consumer indicates that her and her daughter were using the marker for approximately four to five minutes when her daughter said she could not use them anymore because she was feeling dizzy and nauseous, and her eyes were watery. When the consumer stood up, she felt the same way. The consumer’s husband had to take their daughter to the restroom as she could no longer walk; the consumer’s daughter vomited. The consumer’s symptoms subsided after forty-five minutes whereas her daughter began to feel better after two hours. The consumer’s husband placed the marker in a sealed bag. The consumer notes that although her and her daughter had some marker ink on their hands, they did not have any allergic reaction to it, at least not visibly. The consumer contacted Poison Control and explained the situation; the representative she spoke to advised her or a family member to contact 911 immediately for an ambulance if her or her daughter became unconscious. The consumer contacted the Manufacturer and explained the situation; the representative she spoke to informed her that they have never had a reported problem with the marker but that a Manager would be contacting her. The consumer has yet to hear from a Manager. The consumer went to the retailer and explained the situation; the Manager informed her that she would be speaking to her Supervisor in the hopes of placing a warning on the unit as it does not have any warnings at all. The consumer states that the unit was only used one time for four to five minutes. The consumer plans on keeping the marker for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.
