Safety Information:

• Some of the products in your order may be packaged in compostable clear bags made from NATIVIA®, a bio-based material derived from PLA (polylactic acid). This material is non-toxic, free from harmful chemicals such as BPA and phthalates, ensuring safety for all users.

• Warning: To avoid the risk of suffocation, keep compostable clear bags away from babies and young children. Do not place over the head. This warning particularly applies to larger prints or items packaged in clear compostable bags, which may pose a suffocation hazard if placed over a child’s head. Despite being compostable, these bags must still be handled with care to ensure safety, in compliance with the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) and EN 71-1 (Safety of Toys), which require precautions to prevent such risks.
