Office and school supplies contain a surprising array of toxic chemicals: phthalates in plastic binders and folders, formaldehyde in pressed wood furniture, PFAS in stain-resistant fabrics, and BPA in thermal receipt paper. Children are particularly vulnerable to chemical exposure from school supplies they handle daily.
Why We Rated It This Way
Crayola's AP non-toxic certification is meaningful for the ink formula. The polypropylene barrel is the main concern. For children's art supplies, this is an acceptable choice — the ink formula is safe.
