## Questions

### Is Material UI styling safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Material UI styling and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 3078e63a7d86, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/material-ui-styling.
