Is the inside of an etch a sketch toxic?

Answer 1

No, but it is messy. It's a very fine aluminum powder (and some polystyrene beads) that gets everywhere. It's not toxic, but it's definitely not healthy to inhale the stuff.

Answer 2

The inside of an Etch A Sketch typically contains a mixture of aluminum powder and plastic beads. While these materials are generally considered safe for normal use, ingestion or prolonged exposure to the contents may pose a risk of toxicity. It is important to keep the device intact and out of reach of young children to prevent any potential harm. If there are concerns about exposure or ingestion, contacting a poison control center or seeking medical advice is recommended.
