No, the article, or I should I say ads with writing in between, says"potentially non-toxic". Which I find to be a highly troublesome qualifier.

perhaps it’s worded that way for legal reasons? maybe if they flat out said it was non-toxic, and then it turned out that they were wrong, someone could sue them.

i am sure it’s the same sort of idea behind posting a video of someone committing a crime on camera, they use the word “allegedly”

dunno; not a lawyer
