A party and event favourite, glow sticks have been around for some years but continue to grow in popularity.
Glowsticks can be made using a variety of chemical components - some of which can be harmful to your health. GlowSticks.co.uk sell glowsticks products that are safety tested both at the point of manufacture and in the UK, using the same UK laboratories that some major high-street stores use.
We’ve heard a few horror stories in our time about glowsticks making people sick, blistering their skin and worse. So it’s reasurring to know that the glowsticks on sale from glowsticks.co.uk are certified safe and non-toxic by scientists here in the UK. While we can’t offer any medical advice, we can say for sure that drinking glowsticks isn’t pleasant - it tastes terrible.
One note of caution: The flourescent dyes used to colour the glow in glowsticks will stain permanently. If you puncture a glowstick, you should make sure to dispose of it immediately and make sure that you flush any spillages with lots and lots of water. Contact with eyes or skin should be rinsed with plenty of water and, if you’re worried about your health, you should always seek medical attention.
Remember not all glow sticks contain the same chemicals and some of the chemicals that can be used to make them can be pretty nasty. If you’re at all uncertain, you can ask to see the EN71 safety datasheet for your glow products, this should include details of the chemical contents of the sticks and the results of safety testing to CE standards and information on any danger that may arrise from your glow-products use or mis-use. Glowsticks in the UK are required to pass these safety tests;
