cards safe?

[hacatta]

today my sister bought these play deck cards for me to use in toy making.
She saw on google that somebody used that.
now my question is is it safe?
It does say coated so i assume it isn't.
But i didn't want to disappoint her by saying that without checking.

I would NOT use them, no.

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]A good example of unsuitable toxic items used in bird toys, is this toy made of playing cards.[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot] It beggars belief that playing cards are being used to make a bird toy, and just shows how inexperienced these manufacturers are.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]Highly Toxic chemicals are used in the coating of playing cards, and the inks used are strong toxic inks. Playing cards are not an item to give a bird to play with, unless you want to kill it.[/FONT][/FONT]
