⚠️ Risk

The product poses a chemical risk because of the presence of volatile organic compounds in the shoes and in the sachets contained in the packaging. In both instances, mass spectrometry revealed the presence of dimethylfumarate (DMF), a substance used as a biocidal agent. Dimethylfumarate is a substance which has to be considered harmful, irritating and sensitising on contact with the skin, and its use as a biocide is not authorised.
