The liquids inside the light stick cannot be used for food. If the unit leaks, it will stain furniture, flooring, clothes, skin and so on. You need to clean spillages as soon as possible. If the liquids from the light stick get into your eyes, you should wash them with clear water and seek medical advice.

Yes. All our chemical glow light sticks and products come in a sealed plastic case. Even if the outer casing of the glow stick is somehow punctured or broken open, the chemical contents are non-toxic and non-flammable. But please never contact the liquid with eyes or ingesting the fluid because irritation will result. There is also the possibility of an allergic reaction. Please keep in mind that under normal use you will never come into contact with the fluid inside the glow light stick. And also, please never try to puncture the glow sticks.

N.B. Glow light products are not recommended for children under the age of 5 without adult supervision.

There are four components to most light sticks. The first is the plastic outer casing which holds everything inside. The second is the fluid that you can see moving around in the light stick. The third is the glass tube which floats freely in the fluid. The fourth is the fluid contained inside the glass tube. To make a glow stick 'glow', you only need to bend the outer plastic casing to make the inner glass tube broken. The two chemicals parts will then mix together and creating the chemical reaction with 'glow'.

Yes, the warmer the temperature is, the brighter light the glow stick will give, but glow time will be shorter. At the other hand,the glow stick will glow longer time but not so bright at low-temperature conditions. A tip to get an extra half hour out of your glow light stick: To reactivate a "dead" glow light stick or glow light product you just put it into boiling water for about 30 seconds and it will glow again for up to half an hour.

No, once you have activated a glow stick products, it will glow until the chemical reaction is finished. You can however prolong the life of your light stick after it has been activated-- put it into the freezer. Freezing an activated glow stick will slow the chemical reaction. Once you take it back out of the freezer, the glow light stick will start to glow again once it warms up. This technique does not stop the chemical reaction, but it slows the reaction enough that if you put it into the freezer one night and take it back out the next night, it should work fine.

Under normal use of glow sticks, this is not a issue caused. But if you happen to puncture a glow stick and get the inside liquid on your clothing, simply rinse the area with warm soap water immediately to get away of it. If the chemical liquid dries on the clothing, it may cause a stain.

Glow light products should be stored in a cool dry place in the original container or packaging that they came in. Heat and humidity will shorten the shelf life of glow light products.

The shelf life for items packed inside foil packaging will normally last for 2 years.

Glow light products glow from 4 to 12 hours and can even last up to 48 hours if kept cool depending on the product and the ambient air temperature.
