Main risks

• Contact with open flames or intense heat: the fabric may ignite or melt, posing a burn risk.
• Detachment of embellishments, sequins or decorative buttons: possible ingestion or choking hazard for children and pets.
• Skin irritation from dyes, finishes or labels; chafing with prolonged wear or when sweating.
• Colour transfer in the first washes or when the garment is damp, especially with intense colours.
• Burns when ironing or using steamers; damage to prints if direct heat is applied.
• Suffocation from improper use of packaging bags by children.

Safe use

• Always follow the care label on each garment.
• Wash the T-shirt before first use and with similar colours; turn it inside out to protect prints.
• Keep the garment away from open flames, embers, stoves and sources of sparks.
• Do not iron directly over prints, vinyl or appliqués; use a low temperature and, if appropriate, a pressing cloth.
• Check seams and embellishments before use; if there are loose parts, repair them or avoid use by children until fixed.
• Choose a size that allows good movement and ventilation to reduce heat and chafing.
• Remove and dispose of the packaging carefully; keep bags out of the reach of children.

Storage and maintenance

• Store the garment clean and completely dry in a cool, ventilated place; do not store it damp or in airtight bags.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to reduce fading.
• Fold or hang on hangers with rounded edges to prevent distortion at the neck and shoulders, as appropriate for the fabric.
• Use gentle cycles and suitable detergents; avoid bleach and fabric conditioners if not recommended on the label.
• Air dry in the shade when possible; use a tumble dryer only if indicated and at a low temperature.
• Periodically check seams and appliqués; repair or remove damaged components to prevent snags.
• Avoid continuous friction with rough surfaces, zips or hook-and-loop fasteners that may cause snags or pilling.

Restrictions on use

• Does not replace technical or protective clothing; do not use as a flame-resistant, high-visibility or safety garment.
• Not suitable for children under 3 years if it includes small parts, detachable appliqués or decorative cords.
• Avoid children wearing T-shirts with cords or drawstrings during play or in areas where they could snag.
• Do not use near sources of ignition (candles, barbecues, firecrackers) or for handling fireworks.
• Do not wear or iron the garment if it is soaked with flammable products such as alcohols, solvents or aerosols.
• Do not wear the T-shirt if it has tears or loose threads that could catch on machinery, doors or furniture.
