A member asked:

What type of pens are normally toxic?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

I would consider all: If you are referring to "ink pens" and such, i would consider them all toxic if it is ingested. If ingested, call the company, call the poison control center. Don't know what else to tell you.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
