Talcum is the likely culprit, but in the case that got the large settlement, it's my understanding that the exposure was intimate use multiple times a day over decades.

I think Clover is being overly cautious and putting that label on in response the MSDS. The data sheet that covers the safe use of the material in all forms. The pen is probably made with a bit of waxy binder or something to hold it in stick form. Very little chalk dust is created when we mark fanric. I would certainly use it for its intended purpose. <br /><br />Every single thing we do or eat could cause some harm. And we are all mostly fine!Stephanie from Ontariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17376073915882223671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-63957663058209833662021-12-12T05:16:30.452-05:002021-12-12T05:16:30.452-05:00I have never heard of such a warning, and 'tis...I have never heard of such a warning, and 'tis very strange that these pens would be made with such toxic materials.
