The British Allergy Foundation considers that this product may in
proper use reduce exposure to both House Dust Mite (Der p 1) and
Cat Allergen (Fel d 1). It is strongly recommended that a sensitive
person should take care when emptying the clear bin
TM
.
We recommend the manufacturers' emptying instructions should
be strictly followed.
Assessment carried out by BAF indicate that an individual's
exposure can be reduced but this does not mean that an
individual's allergic symptoms will necessarily diminish. BAF's
opinion applies only to the products and allergen stated. The
product should be used only for its intended purpose and strictly in
accordance with the manufacturers' instructions at all times.
Exposure to allergen can be dangerous. If you believe that you
may suffer from an allergy you should seek medical advice.
The British Allergy Foundation is a national charity (Charity Reg.
No. 1003726) founded in 1991 with the aim of improving
awareness, prevention and treatment of allergy.
The Foundation continually strives to help sufferers to help
themselves, often seeking to avoid or reduce exposure to
relevant allergens. The Seal of Approval scheme forms a part of
this initiative.
