This is a targeted safety notice for the correct and safe use of puzzles (cardboard, wooden, 3D, and other jigsaw puzzles). Follow the instructions below to avoid choking on small parts, injuries, and property damage.

Basic safety and handling principles

• Keep out of reach of small children: Puzzles contain small pieces and packaging; there is a risk of swallowing and choking. The product is not a toy for children under 3 years unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer.
• Packaging and films: Dispose of protective films and bags immediately; they can cause suffocation.
• Piece inspection: Before use, check that pieces are not cracked, have sharp edges, or loose small parts; do not use damaged pieces.
• Magnetic/electronic elements: If the set contains magnets or small batteries, keep them out of reach of children; if ingestion is suspected, seek urgent medical help immediately.

Proper and safe use

• Use as intended: Puzzles are intended to be assembled on a flat, stable surface; do not put pieces in the mouth or use them as toys for animals.
• Adult supervision: Ensure appropriate supervision when children are assembling puzzles and respect the manufacturer’s age recommendations.
• Safe environment: Place puzzles away from walkways; do not leave pieces on the floor to prevent slipping or swallowing.
• 3D models and stands: Store completed models in a stable place out of reach of small children and pets.

Cleaning, maintenance, and storage

• Cleaning: Wipe pieces with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth; do not immerse in water or use aggressive cleaners.
• Material protection: Protect from moisture, spilled drinks, and direct sunlight; excessive moisture may cause warping or layer separation.
• Storage: Store in a closed box or bags, out of reach of small children and pets; keep small pieces separate.

Specific health warnings

• Allergies and sensitive skin: Some printing inks, varnishes, or wood may cause reactions; discontinue use if irritation occurs.
• Ergonomics and eyesight: Take breaks during long assembly sessions and ensure adequate lighting.

Disposal

• Safe disposal: Recycle paper/cardboard pieces with paper; dispose of wooden and plastic parts according to local regulations. Wrap damaged small pieces to prevent risk to children and animals.
