Why this wording may be risky
Non-toxic can be understood broadly across people, pets, and the environment, through different exposure routes and use conditions. A narrow test may not support that full interpretation.
Safer review direction
State the specific tested property or ingredient fact when it is accurate, and qualify the scope. Avoid turning limited evidence into an unrestricted safety promise.
Why product context still matters
A paint, cleaner, toy, pet product, and packaging material can require different evidence and exposure analysis. The phrase is not automatically safe because it is common.
Questions to check
- Non-toxic to whom, under which exposure route and conditions?
- Does the evidence cover the complete formula and intended use?
- Can the Listing state a narrower verified material fact?
