Hi, last night I bought some silly string sold at the Dollar Tree in the Southhampton Shopping Center. My son had wanted some for a while and hey, it was just a dollar. After we got home, I read the label on the can and learned that it contained both benzene and acetone, two very toxic chemicals. This isn't really silly string and was being sold as Goofy String. It's not even considered safe for children and should not even be on the market. My husband sent the company an email but I thought that I would give everyone a heads up. Benzene and acetone are carcinogenic. There's even a warning on the label. Let all of your friends know not to buy this product at Dollar Tree.

Thanks,
Laura Routh
