Stationery and Office Supplies

Your stationery and office supplies need to comply with the standards of quality and safety that apply, especially in products for use by children.

In recent years, many children’s stationery products have been recalled in the EU and US. For example, a children's stationery set which contained a razor blade cutter with a sharp edge, posing a laceration hazard to young children, or crayons that contained enough lead to present a poisoning hazard to young children who might eat or chew on them.
