Exploring Nature Funstation Attention: If you have
little explorers at home, you should be on the lookout for Exploring Nature
Funstation – a science activity kit. Children who use the kits need to
avoid contact with the enclosed compass which can leak kerosene and be inhaled
or ingested. Although the kits are meant for children ages eight and older, a
l6 month old child did ingest keresone and became sick. (These kits which have
been on the market since March l996 contain a book and a number of items used to
perform science projects including a magnifying glass, petri dish, crayons, a
test tube and a thermometer. It is only the compass which needs to be "off
limits.") Call the manufacturer, Price Stern Inc., for more information.
