Recently I have had the misfortune of finding out that some Vallejo Acrylics, (which I had changed to from Testors paints because they were labelled as NON TOXIC), contain Cadmium, (a highly toxic element found in many red, yellow and orange paints), which is banned by the EU. The irony is that Vallejo is made in Spain with the EU Health Approved Label. And then under the label it says "NO HEALTH LABEL REQUIRED" which is a bit shady.
Is there any organic alternative?
I guess it makes the production way cheaper than using organic substances?
Lead, Cadmium, Glycol Ethers, Astatine, Cobalt, Chromium, Mercury, Tin, Antimony, Thinners, Turpentine, and Solvents galore!
Anyone else slightly piqued at the notion of the companies putting harmful toxins in our paints just to save a lousy buck?!
