Toxic Art Supplies
The California Education Code Section 32064 prohibits schools from ordering or purchasing any product that contains toxic or carcinogenic substances for use in grades K-6. Education Code Section 32065 also restricts the purchase of such products in grades 7-12; allowing the use only if the product bears a label informing the user of the presence of hazardous ingredients, the potential health effects, and instruction for the safe use. Education Code Section 32066 requires the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) develop a list of art and crafts material “which cannot be purchased or ordered” for use in kindergarten and grades one through six.
