Hazard

The migration of nickel from the metal parts on the inside of the bracelet is too high (measured values: 2 μg/cm2/week). Nickel is a strong sensitizer and can cause allergic reactions if present in articles that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.
