I have also seen some of my older white toys yellow slightly even though I don't smoke or leave them in direct sunlight which might just be because of the oils from human skin plus time and the softer plastic used. Hope that helps a little. As to fixing yellowed plastic there's varying methods I've heard of depending on the cause so knowing how would help.
I don't really know the cause of it. Are there any safer ways to try that would most probably prevent removing the paint as well? I tried 65% isopropyl alcohol. It worked very marginally. Any other methods I could give it a shot?
