Alanya attention! If your child uses this pen, throw it away immediately

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has detected a carcinogenic substance in children's pencils following an inspection. Warnings have been issued regarding the pencils, which will be withdrawn from the market.

According to recent investigations by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, a type of pencil frequently used by children was found to contain the carcinogenic substance phthalate, at levels significantly exceeding legal limits. This poses a serious threat to children's health.

WITHDRAWN FROM THE MARKET

Phthalate, known to cause infertility in boys, was detected in the product named Gıpta Kids Forest Versatil Kalem. The ministry has decided to withdraw this product from the market.

ALERT ISSUED

This warning, added to the Unsafe Product Information System, has raised concerns among families and authorities. Experts emphasize that children's products should only be obtained from reliable sources and stress the importance of following the ministry's updates in such cases.

Phthalate is a chemical substance used to add flexibility to plastic products. However, it poses significant health risks, particularly for children. It can disrupt hormonal systems, cause developmental issues, reproductive system disorders, and even infertility.
