Glow-in-the-dark crayon sets recalled over high strontium and aluminum levels

Plain-English summary

This CPSC recall involves the Primark The Nightmare Before Christmas Glow-in-the-Dark Coloring Set, which the record states included five coloring sheets and five glow-in-the-dark crayons in purple, yellow, pink, blue and orange. The record states the crayons are wrapped in black paper reading "GLOW IN THE DARK" with images of the head of Jack Skellington and snowflakes, and that the product code "0309401" is printed on the price label.

The record states the crayons in the coloring set have high levels of strontium and aluminum, and that this may present a risk if ingested, posing a poisoning hazard if ingested by young children.

The record lists about 600 units affected. They were sold at Primark stores in the northeast and in Florida, Maryland and Illinois from October 2024 through July 2025 for between $1.45 and $4.50. No injuries or incidents have been reported.
