The average child uses 730 crayons by age 10, according to a news release from EWG.

Dunno why, but I did find this info mildly fascinating.

As I understand it, asbestos is only a problem if you breathe it. This happened a number of years ago that there was asbestos in Twinkies. People were outraged but no one got cancer from Twinkies.

The crayons and toys that contained asbestos were made in China

That should have been in the headline, not the 10th paragraph.

Crayola crayons are made in America. Chinese crayons have been a toxic problem for more than 20 years. Article from 1994: U.S. Safety Group Recalls Crayons Made in China
