Safety Information for Latex Clothing (GPSR)

These instructions apply to latex clothing, masks, gloves, socks, and all other latex products offered here. Please read them completely before wearing or using them and always follow them. Since our products are handmade as individual pieces, there are no traditional batch numbers. However, each product is clearly identifiable by its individual article, order, and invoice number, as well as internal production documentation.

Note according to EU Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR): The following information is intended to ensure the safe use of consumer products made from natural latex. Products are not personal protective equipment or medical devices.

Important Warnings

• Allergies: Contains natural rubber latex. May cause allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Do not use if you are allergic to latex. If redness, itching, shortness of breath, or dizziness occurs, remove immediately and seek medical help.
• Breathing / Suffocation: Masks or tight-fitting garments should never cover the airway. Do not sleep in them or wear them alone. Ensure free air circulation; remove immediately if breathing difficulties or dizziness occur. Do not wear gloves, stockings, socks, or other items over your head.
• Circulation / Fit: Clothing that is too tight can constrict blood vessels (especially the neck, wrists, and ankles), cause numbness, coldness, discoloration, or pain. In these cases, remove immediately. Wear loosely and with freedom of movement around the neck area.
• Overheating / Dehydration: Latex is not breathable; excessive sweating may occur. Limit wearing time, take breaks, and drink plenty of fluids. Remove immediately if you experience dizziness, headaches, or nausea.
• Slipping Hazard: Dressing aids, silicones, and polishes make surfaces slippery. Be careful on smooth floors, stairs, and wet areas. Remove residue from hands, floors, and shower trays.
• Skin & Pressure Sores: Tight-fitting garments may cause temporary marks or minor bruising. Do not wear jewelry underneath to avoid skin injuries.
• Chemicals / Heat: Avoid contact with oils, greases, solvents (e.g., white spirit), self-tanners, insect sprays, and excessive heat/flames – material damage and risk of injury.
• Children's Parts / Small Parts: Risk of suffocation from loose parts/packaging. Keep out of reach of children!

Safe Use & Care

• Rinse with lukewarm water before first wearing. If you have sensitive skin, test briefly beforehand; gradually increase the wearing time.
• Ensure freedom of movement while wearing; do not "block" zippers. Use suitable, latex-compatible dressing aids. Alcohol/sedatives can mask physical warning signs – therefore avoid during or before wearing.
• After use, rinse skin and product with mild detergent and dry completely. Store in a cool, dark, dry place, away from ozone/UV light. Care only with latex-compatible products according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Emergencies

If shortness of breath, chest pain, persistent rash, dizziness, or reduced circulation occur: remove immediately (use blunt safety scissors along seam areas if necessary) and call 112.

Always follow the individual product instructions. Improper use increases the risk of injury and material damage.
