The article mentions a 2020 paper from IEEE that suggests the radiation exposure from playing with the kit would amount to around 1 day’s worth of UV exposure, so it appears the kit was pretty safe. Of course if a child were to break open a container and say eat the radioactive material, or inhale any dust from it, the radiation exposure would be far greater. Enough to cause cancer in older age? I’m not sure.

- eternityforest 3y agoKids break things a lot. And don't wash their hands as much as they maybe should. I'm glad this is banned.
