Well, they are labeled as face paint and honestly, the general public just goes by that. The stuff is sold in stores where they usually shop and most don't know about Snaz or other paint until someone tells them. I used that junk for the first two times I painted until I decided I was serious and wanted to face paint as a business. I knew I couldn't do a decent job with that stuff so I searched online and found someone who told me about Snaz. Most moms buying paint to paint kids for a costume party of fundraiser wouldn't go that far. It would be a one time thing and they would figure that's what face paint was like.
Years ago when my son was in nursery school we did cheek art at a fundraiser. I never thought a thing about it and we all used tempera paint. No one died or complained of a rash. Of course, it wasn't the best thing to do but I don't think they had any more paint on them from our little designs than they got on themselves when they used the paint in class to paint their little masterpieces. I guess we were just lucky. It's just too bad that this recall will make some people think that all face paint could be dangerous and not book parties. I hope it dies down quietly.
