Tech 4 Kidstoys@tech4kids.com no Sometimes my Mash&#39;Ems smell after opening. What is this smell? http://www.tech4kids.com/blogentry.aspx?site_id=10464&entry_id=298742http://www.tech4kids.com/blogentry.aspx?site_id=10464&entry_id=298742 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:00:00 GMT A: Sometimes, you may notice a smell coming from your Mash'Em after opening up the single packs.&nbsp; This smell is only noticeable for a few minutes after opening, and is only present in our single pack Mash'Ems.&nbsp; We have reviewed all of our 3rd party lab testing reports on the paint ingredients. We have also consulted our toxicologist on how to best assure you that the odour is non-toxic to humans. <br /> <br /> The smell comes from the paint solvent &ldquo;Xylene&rdquo;. Xylene is a widely used solvent in ink, paints, resins and lacquers. The amount of xylene in our Mash&rsquo;ems is not a safety hazard. The Odor Threshold for xylene is 1ppm (4.4mg/m3), and this is a 100 times less than the amount permitted for an 8 hour exposure limit. Since the xylene traces rapidly evaporate, human exposure is extremely minimal and is of no toxicological importance. The exposure levels are considered to be much less than permitted levels in food and water as permitted by EPA and FDA. It is considered there are no safety/ toxicological concerns with the residual odour of xylene on the toys. <br /> A: Sometimes, you may notice a smell coming from your Mash'Em after opening up the single packs.

For any additional information or queries please contact us at toys@tech4kids.com Do I really need to wear the Safety Leash when riding my Snow MX? http://www.tech4kids.com/blogentry.aspx?site_id=10464&entry_id=280373http://www.tech4kids.com/blogentry.aspx?site_id=10464&entry_id=280373 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:00:00 GMT A: Yes! You should wear it! The leash is not a bad thing and you should wear it at all times around your ankle. If you wipeout or fall off your Snow MX while riding, the leash will prevent your Snow MX from becoming a runaway board and hitting someone else. At ski resorts they are very strict about this, and you must wear the leash at all times. It&rsquo;s best to just make it a habit, like putting on a seatbelt. A: Yes! You should wear it!

Much like doing a turn on your Snow MX, using your weight to turn your board and push down on your inside edge to dig into the snow. To stop, increase the turn of your Snow MX and carve deep into the snow on your inside edge lifting the front outside edge up off the snow.
