   ASBESTOS FOUND IN COLOR PENCILS

   Asbestos is found in color pencils for children in both USA and Europe. Tests of the most sold brands are showing that the cancer inducing compound is present in about 40 percent of the products.
   Asbestos is one of the most dangerous industrial products ever. There were early reports, as early as the sixties about its inherent dangers, but they were ignored and silenced by the industry. Today it’s forbidden in many countries, but the various corporations continue to use it in countries where it’s not... and also, as is now once more proven, in countries where it’s illegal.
