Martens made of artificial materialsas polyester and acrylic for example, can cause allergic reactions in people with more sensitive skin and in children. The risk of redness and rashes also exists when they are used harmful dyes about the threads or other elements of the article, are warned by “We, the users”.
Metal elements with high levels of lead, cadmium or nickelas well as plastic applications with harmful chemical compounds such as those commonly used Bisphenol A can lead to disorders of the reproductive system and even to oncological diseases.
Therefore, especially if the bracelet has direct contact with the body, as with bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings, etc., be sure to choose one that has information about the constituent elements. The presence of details of the manufacturer or importer are also a guarantor to some extent, as they are responsible for safety, the founder of “We, the consumers” Gabriela Rumenova told BNR.
“Also pay attention to warnings such as that martenitsa with small elements like beads or figurines of favorite cartoon characters not suitable for children under 3 years of age. When placed in the mouth and swallowed, it can lead to suffocation and even suffocation. Avoid the martens that they have sharp or cutting partsas they pose a risk of prick or cut“, adds the expert.
Keep in mind that the material information of individual parts may not be correct. Especially when the manufacturer or importer is unknown. Do-it-yourself stores sell separately all the necessary elements to “assemble” a martenitsa – from the threads, through appliqués of different types and materials, to cardboard backings with pre-described ingredients. A random visit to such a store arouses suspicion by the fact that all the cards are marked with “cotton”, and none of the thread models on display contain this fiber.
Review carefully when choosing and do not inadvertently give a gift instead of a wish for health, a health problem.
