Poison Control Warning on Tarte Foundation?????

I started a thread earlier today asking who wasn't going to buy the Tarte TSV, and Uglybuster posted something that I thought should be posted to a separate thread, so everyone considering purchasing this TSV could read it and make their own decisions.

I don't know any details about the warning (posted below,) and I don't know if the warning exists because there is a real danger to ingesting this product (as compared with ingesting a foundation from a different brand,) but I have never seen a warning label like this on a foundation, so I thought I'd start the new thread.

I know most of us don't plan to eat our foundation, no matter how hungry we might be, but our kids, grandchildren, and pets may not be quite so discriminating about it.

Again, I'm not trying to bash Tarte, but I thought this was odd enough to warrant a mention here.

After reading all the information re: made in CHINA (eyeshadow), warning DO NOT INGEST, CALL POISON CONTROL (for the foundation). I mean, REALLY? If you cant "ingest it", couldnt the poison be passed on through your skin anyway?? Not taking any chances with this one. I just dont, "get it". I wish others luck and hope they enjoy this kit.

Here is a copy and paste directly from the ingredients list for the Tarte FOUNDATION in the TSV:

Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away. You may report a serious adverse reaction to: tarte c/o Report Reaction, LLC, P.O. Box 22, Plainsboro, New Jersey 08536-0222.
