Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Discount School Supply is recalling about 2,200 Colorations™ brand extra-large crayon sets because the red crayons can contain pieces of glass. This recall involves the 200-count multi-color sets, which include 25 red crayons. The firm has received two reports of red crayons containing glass, although no injuries have been reported. These sets were sold exclusively online at DiscountSchoolSupply.com between June and October 2017 for approximately $36.

Risk

The presence of glass fragments inside the red crayons poses a laceration hazard to children and other users during normal use. If the crayon breaks or wears down, sharp glass pieces may be exposed and cause cuts.
