Fair perhaps, but highly unlikely. The folks who sell certain items (e.g. artist materials) have no vested interest in warning. Furthermore, it's important to recognize that simply because a company sells a product they may not be the manufacturers. Most linseed oil, for example, is made by one or two companies (Cargill, for example) and not by art materials companies. Unfortunately, alkyd resins have been shown to be problematic by the people who do make them.
