URGENT SAFETY NOTICE MASKS WITH MAGNETS – POTENTIAL MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE WITH CERTAIN MEDICAL DEVICES

Following the recommendations of our suppliers, this warning applies to you or anyone in close physical contact with your mask.

Keep mask magnets at a safe distance of at least 150 mm (6 inches) from implants or medical devices that may be affected by magnetic interference.

Medical implants/devices, including those listed in contraindications, may be adversely affected if they change function under the influence of external magnetic fields or if they contain ferromagnetic materials that attract/repel magnetic fields.

Talk to your doctor and the manufacturer of your implant or other medical devices for information on the potential adverse effects of magnetic fields.
