No, the original Etch A Sketch did not contain Mercury. The Etch A Sketch toy uses a mixture of aluminum powder and plastic beads to create the drawings, which are then erased by shaking the toy. Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that is not used in the manufacturing of toys due to its harmful effects on human health and the environment.
