If the warning is there, then the risk is real, but I imagine you’d have to bathe in it to be seriously worried. As for the paints that don’t list it, the reasons could range from loose regulation to no dangerous chemicals were used in its manufacture. I don’t paint at all (intend to start soon), but I plan to be careful not to leave paint on my fingers for extended periods. Not sure how helpful that is…

I'm not entirely up-to-date on the possible hazards of paint but I'd have to guess the warning probably refers to inhalation or consumption dangers.

Thanks guys for the info. you calmed me down alittle lol... i wash with soap the paint from my fingers the moment i am done. and i dont usually take long when im repainting a figure.
SideNote:: and its probably a good idea NOT to eat while you are painting a figure, just thought ill throw that out there. Last edited by Tomax; 02-21-2019 at 05:27 PM.. |

I use only water based paint now, so probably not much cause for concern.

Hey, yeah! Some of my collection smells a little like a new car. Could that be a bad thing?
New Car Smell Is Toxic, Study Says: Which Cars Are Worst? (CBS, 2012) Quote:
For the study, researchers at the Ecology Center tested more than 200 of the most popular 2011-2012 automobiles for chemicals that "off-gas" from interior car parts such as the steering wheel, dashboard, armrests, and seats. They assigned a "vehicle rating" based on the amount of chemicals they found.
The researchers found more than 275 different chemicals in the interiors of cars. Some chemicals of concern include bromine from brominated flame retardants (BFRs) which are added to plastics to make them less flammable, chlorine used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) used for plastics and windshields, lead, and heavy metals. The researchers said BFR exposure has been tied to thyroid problems, learning and memory impairment, decreased fertility, and behavioral changes while PVCs which contain chemicals called phthalates are linked to decreased fertility, and problems with the liver, testes, thyroid, ovaries, kidneys, and blood.

The state of CA has some very unique laws that paint manufacturers must follow. Side nore if you have ceramic plates/dishes with a chip, throw them out. Coffee mugs especially those with paints on them should never get washed in the dishwasher. This was told to me by a rep at ceramic manufacturer.

* How serious is this? i never even noticed it till now. * Some paints say the warning, some dont? or am i overthinking it? The real concern, like some have mentioned, are the chemicals that make the plastics, not so much the hard ABS type plastics but the softer ones like vinyls etc, since the smell they give off are the chemicals off-gassing. Any cheaper new toys I get, which have a strong smell, I put in a window until the smell dissipates. Putting the toy in the sun will accelerate the off-gassing, but you may not want to do that with something expensive like a Hot Toys fig. |

Label is there for California and to be able to be sold in California. Apparently everything causes cancer in CA.

California thinks everything causes cancer. Pretty sure there is a warning they give to every baby born that “life causes cancer”... I ignore most of that drivel. You can look in the news on any given day and there will be a California university study about coffee being the worst thing for you while another study (sometimes at the SAME university!) will have a study that coffee is the healthiest thing you could ever consume.
Remember that 99.999999999% of these studies are looking at lab mice that are exposed to things at a concentration that is millions of times more than you as a human would ever be exposed.
