Important Safety Notice for Selfie Sticks 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 selfie sticks (telescopic phone holders with remote control/Bluetooth shutter, sometimes with an integrated mini tripod). Due to mechanical risks, possible device falls, presence of small parts and batteries, and risks near electrical wiring, please follow the instructions below.

Basic Safety and Handling Principles

• Keep out of reach of children: Small parts and button batteries pose a choking hazard; the product is not a toy.
• Check before use: Inspect clamping jaws, rubber grips, screws, locks of telescopic segments, and any tripod legs. Do not use a damaged product.
• Pinch hazard: When extending/locking segments, keep fingers away from joints and locks; handle slowly and under control.
• Safe surroundings: Maintain distance from people, monuments, and fragile objects; do not endanger surroundings with the extended stick.
• Electrical risks and weather: Metal sticks conduct electricity – do not use during storms or near overhead power lines.

Proper and Safe Use

• Use as intended: Designed to hold phones within the weight range specified by the manufacturer; do not use as a lever, support, or carrier for other devices outside specifications.
• Phone mounting: Place the phone centered, tighten the jaws so they hold firmly; use the wrist strap if available.
• Integrated tripod: Deploy only on a flat and stable surface; do not leave unattended in windy conditions.
• Bluetooth/wired shutter: Pair and use according to instructions; keep button batteries out of reach of children and seek urgent medical help immediately if ingestion is suspected.
• Restrictions and regulations: Do not use while driving, cycling, or on a scooter; respect bans in museums, sports venues, and amusement parks.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Storage

• Cleaning: Wipe with a soft cloth; after rain, dry joints and segments. Do not use aggressive cleaners or immerse in water.
• Maintenance: Regularly check and tighten screws and locks; replace damaged rubber grips on jaws. Do not use sticky oils that attract dust.
• Storage: Store folded, with segments secured, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

Specific Health Warnings

• Fatigue and overload: Holding overhead for long periods may strain wrists and shoulders; take breaks and shorten extension.
• LED accessories: If the stick contains LED lighting or a power bank, follow electronic device instructions and avoid contact with water.

Disposal

• Safe disposal: Sort metal and plastic parts according to local regulations; hand over electronic controllers and batteries to electronic waste collection.

Incidents and Contact

• In case of an incident (device fall, pinch injury, electric shock), immediately stop using the product. Keep the product and proof of purchase for filing a report.
