iGlove touchscreen gloves - Blue

Important safety notice for gloves 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 gloves (textile, woolen, leather, synthetic, elastic; winter, sports, cycling, running, touchscreen with conductive tips, motorcycle, leisure work, fashion with decorations/zippers/magnetic fasteners). Since they may contain small metal or magnetic elements, have cords or zippers, and improper sizing can restrict blood circulation and sensitivity, please follow the instructions below.

Basic safety and handling principles

• Keep out of reach of small children: Buttons, zipper sliders, decorations, and magnets may pose a choking hazard; the product is not a toy.
• Check before use: Inspect seams, cuffs, fastenings, conductive tips, and surface; do not use gloves that are torn, worn, or cracked.
• Fire and heat: Most textiles are flammable; gloves are not flame-resistant. Avoid open flames, sparks, and hot surfaces.
• Magnetic/metal parts: Keep away from payment cards and sensitive electronics; persons with implanted devices should maintain a safe distance from strong magnets.
• Not PPE: Gloves are not intended as personal protective equipment (PPE) against cutting, chemical, or thermal risks unless explicitly stated and marked (e.g., CE/EN standard).

Proper and safe use

• Correct size and sensitivity: Gloves must not be excessively tight (risk of reduced blood flow, numb fingers) or too loose (risk of catching on objects).
• Activities and catching hazards: When working with machinery, on escalators, or bicycles, choose low-profile cuffs without loose cords/chains; secure long straps.
• Touchscreen tips: Conductive fibers may be sensitive to abrasive surfaces; avoid contact with sharp edges.
• Moisture and cold: In wet and windy conditions, prefer waterproof/windproof models; to maintain warmth, do not overclench fingers (a clenched fist reduces sensitivity).
• Purpose: Do not use gloves for handling chemicals, oils, hot objects, or welding unless they are designed and certified for such use.

Cleaning, maintenance, and storage

• According to the label: Follow care symbols; leather requires gentle cleaning and conditioner, wool gentle washing, synthetics usually low temperatures.
• Drying: Dry at room temperature away from direct heat/sunlight; shape leather gloves during drying to prevent stiffening.
• Fastenings and metal parts: After contact with salt water/sweat, wipe dry to prevent corrosion and discoloration of textiles.
• Storage: Store in a dry and dark place; avoid compression that deforms padding and conductive tips.

Specific health warnings

• Allergies and sensitive skin: Dyed textiles, leather tanning agents, and metal (e.g., nickel in accessories) may cause reactions; if redness or itching occurs, remove the gloves.
• Blood circulation and pressure: Tight cuffs may impair circulation; choose the appropriate size or adjustable fastenings.
• Moisture and dermatitis: Prolonged wearing of wet gloves increases the risk of irritation; dry hands and change wet gloves.

Disposal

• Sorted waste and textile collection: Textile/leather parts should be handed over to textile collection; separate metal and magnetic parts if possible. Wrap sharp/hard parts to avoid hazards.

Incidents and contact

• In case of an incident (allergic reaction, frostbite from improper use, injury from catching), stop using the product immediately. Keep the product and proof of purchase for complaint processing.
