Allergy Warning: Potential Presence of Natural Rubber Latex

 

Please be advised that some of the products sold on this website, or their components, parts, or packaging, may contain Natural Rubber Latex (NRL), a material derived from the Hevea brasiliensis rubber tree.

Natural Rubber Latex is a known allergen that can cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening emergency, in sensitive individuals.


 

User Responsibility and Caution

 

  • Individuals with Known or Suspected Latex Allergies: If you or any intended user of our products have a known allergy or sensitivity to Natural Rubber Latex, we strongly urge you to exercise extreme caution and avoid contact with any product or packaging that may contain NRL.

  • Prior to Use: It is the user's sole responsibility to inspect the product, its components, and all packaging before use, and to verify its suitability for use, particularly with regard to any personal allergies or sensitivities.

  • Ingredient and Material Verification: While we strive to provide accurate material information, due to potential variations in material sourcing, manufacturing processes, and supply chain changes, we cannot guarantee that any specific product is entirely free of all trace amounts of natural rubber latex proteins. Do not rely on any product or packaging being "latex-free" unless explicitly stated as such by a material-specific, documented certification, and even then, proceed with caution.

  • Seek Medical Advice: If you experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction (such as rash, hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis) after handling or using our products, immediately discontinue use and seek emergency medical attention. Consult with a healthcare professional before purchasing or using any product if you have concerns about latex allergy.
