Important Safety Notice for Tobacco Boxes in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on General Product Safety (GPSR)

This is a targeted safety notice for the correct and safe use of tobacco boxes (boxes and cases for loose tobacco, cigarettes, or rolling papers). Due to possible sharp edges, magnetic or spring closures, the presence of tobacco, and potential humidifiers, it is essential to follow the instructions below to avoid injuries, contamination, and damage.

Basic Safety and Handling Principles

• Keep out of reach of children: Tobacco and humidifying agents are not intended for children; there is a risk of poisoning, choking on small parts, and skin or eye irritation. The product is not a toy.
• Sharp edges and hinges: Be careful not to pinch fingers when opening/closing; do not use damaged or sharp edges.
• Heat and fire: Do not place the tobacco box near open flames, sparks, or heat sources; never store smoldering residues or hot objects inside.
• Magnetic closure: Keep away from payment cards and sensitive electronics; individuals with implants should exercise caution.

Proper and Safe Use

• Use as intended: Designed for short-term storage and carrying of tobacco or cigarettes; do not use as an ashtray or container for liquids or chemicals.
• Tobacco humidification: Use only recommended humidifiers (pads/packs) according to instructions; do not open them or allow contact of contents with skin or mouth.
• Content labeling: Clearly label the tobacco box; do not use for food or medicines to avoid confusion.
• Legal restrictions: Comply with local regulations regarding tobacco products and youth access.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Storage

• Cleaning: Clean the emptied tobacco box with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive agents and harsh cleaners that may damage surfaces or adhesives.
• Material maintenance: Dry metal parts after contact with moisture; treat leather with appropriate products; allow textiles to dry at room temperature.
• Storage: Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and heat sources; do not overfill to avoid damage to hinges and closures.

Specific Health Warnings

• Smoke and tobacco: Tobacco and its vapors are harmful to health; prevent unintended exposure of people nearby and contamination of common objects with tobacco.
• Ingestion and eye contact: In case of accidental ingestion of tobacco or humidifier, or eye contact, seek medical assistance.
• Allergies: Some metals, adhesives, and dyes may cause skin reactions; discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Disposal

• Safe disposal: Sort metal tobacco boxes for metal recycling; dispose of plastic and textile parts according to local regulations. Dispose of tobacco residues and humidifier pads as municipal waste following manufacturer instructions.

Incidents and Contact

• In case of an incident (irritation, finger pinching, ingestion of part of the contents), immediately stop using the product and seek medical help if necessary. Keep the product and proof of purchase for complaint handling.
