Important Safety Notice for Construction Sets 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 construction sets (pieces, models, technical and creative kits, including magnetic or electronic modules). Follow the instructions below to avoid injuries, choking on small parts, and property damage.

Basic Safety and Handling Principles

• Keep out of reach of small children: Construction sets may contain small parts posing a choking hazard; not suitable for children under 3 years unless otherwise stated.
• Adult supervision: Always ensure appropriate supervision when children assemble; follow age labeling and set complexity.
• Parts inspection: Check parts before use for cracks, sharp edges, or deformation. Do not use damaged parts.
• Magnetic parts: Keep strong magnets away from children; swallowing may cause serious internal injury. Persons with pacemakers/ICDs should maintain a safe distance.
• Electronic modules and batteries: Use only recommended batteries; keep button batteries away from children and seek urgent medical help if ingestion is suspected.

Proper and Safe Use

• Use as intended: Build according to instructions and manufacturer recommendations; do not expose to excessive force, prying, or violent pressing of parts.
• Improper use: Do not use construction parts as food utensils, jewelry, or objects in the mouth; do not place finished models where they may fall or tip over.
• Adhesives and paints: If the set requires gluing or painting, work in a ventilated area, protect eyes and skin; use only products suitable for the material.
• Safe workspace: Build on a stable, clean surface; keep small parts away from small children and pets.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Storage

• Cleaning: Clean parts according to material (usually with a slightly damp cloth); do not immerse electronic modules in water; avoid aggressive cleaners and solvents.
• Maintenance: Regularly check the fastening of parts and electrical contacts; replace damaged or non-functional parts.
• Storage: Store sorted in closable containers; keep magnetic parts away from payment cards and sensitive electronics.

Specific Health Warnings

• Allergies and sensitive skin: Some plastics, adhesives, paints, and metals may cause irritation; stop work if a reaction occurs and consult a doctor if necessary.
• Injuries: Use caution when handling sharp edges or tools (knives, files); treat wounds if injured.

Disposal

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

Incidents and Contact

• In case of an incident (swallowing a part, allergic reaction, injury), immediately stop using the product and seek medical help if needed. Keep the product and proof of purchase for complaint handling.
