The British Allergy Foundation considers that this

8 9 10 product may in proper use reduce exposure to
both House Dust Mite (Der p 1) and Cat Allergen
(Fel d 1). It is strongly recommended that a
sensitive person should take care when emptying
the clear binTM. We recommend the manufacturers'
emptying instructions should be strictly followed.

Assessment carried out by BAF indicate that an individual's exposure

can be reduced but this does not mean that an individual's allergic
symptoms will necessarily diminish. BAF's opinion applies only to the
products and allergen stated. The product should be used only for its
intended purpose and strictly in accordance with the manufacturers'
instructions at all times.

Exposure to allergen can be dangerous. If you believe that you

may suffer from an allergy you should seek medical advice. The
British Allergy Foundation is a national charity (Charity Reg. No.
1003726) founded in 1991 with the aim of improving awareness,
prevention and treatment of allergy.

The Foundation continually strives to help sufferers to help

themselves, often seeking to avoid or reduce exposure to relevant
allergens. The Seal of Approval scheme forms a part of this initiative.
