  1. Emergency room

    Made May 27, 2016, sent to the company Jun 6, 2016, published by CPSC Jun 27, 2016

    The product, in the report: Crayola twistables

    My daughter was coloring with a crayola twistable. She was lying in the floor and somehow managed to puncture herself under the chin. There was a decent size laceration with a lot of blood. I took her immediately to the emergency room. They cleaned her up and they were able to close the puncture wound with glue and butterfly sutures. They also performed a X-ray to confirm there were not any fragments of the crayola in the wound.

    She was not running, she did not fall, there was no force to cause the type of wound she received. She is bandaged up and she is sleeping. She will probably be really sore tomorrow and they said it will probably scar. There was a lot of blood and she was terrified, we are just happy she is okay and it wasn’t worse.

    The product, in the report: Crayola Bath Gel Doodlers Crayons The model number is 42002AGO

    We purchased Crayola Doodlers Bath Gel Crayons at Target. While bathing my son, the gel accidentally got into his eye. It caused severe burning and irritation. We contacted poison control and they advised us to flush his eye with water for 15 minutes. We did that but it was still red and swollen. The following morning, his eye was still red and swollen. We took him to the doctor who said he got a bacterial infection from the gel.

    The product, in the report: Crayola Mini Twistable Crayon

    My son put a Crayola Mini Twistable into his mouth. The crayola got stuck to his upper lip because of a space between the plastic (the end piece twists to turn the crayola out) and when pulled free from his mouth it caused bleeding. He has a small chunk of skin missing due to this incident and crying.
