This is a safe design pair of scissors and case for children. Upon closer inspection, it seems there's some dirt on the outside of the case from when it was stored. I don't think it's anything to worry about, but please take a look! I only used it twice after buying it new ^_^ Would anyone with young children like this? - Brand: familiar - Item Type: Scissors, Noodle Cutter, Serving Utensils - Color: Red/Blue - Design: Case with Character Thank you for looking.
