After a chemical splash in the eye, rinse immediately and thoroughly for at least fifteen minutes, then attend an ophthalmic emergency service immediately. Do not delay to obtain a pharmacy product.
A laundry capsule is not a soft toy. Moist hands or saliva can rupture its water-soluble film and spray the contents.
The liquid can irritate or damage skin and mucous membranes. ANSES documents serious eye injuries.
Keep capsules in their original box or bag, properly closed and beyond children’s reach. Do not remove them for storage elsewhere.
