Fire Hazards with Paraffin-Based and Paraffin-Free Skin Products

You have been provided with this information because we are supplying you with a paraffin-based/emollient product that is associated with a risk of fire.

If you are using an emollient, particularly a paraffin-based skin product, which is covered by a dressing or clothing, there is a danger that smoking or being near a naked flame could cause your dressing or clothing to catch fire.

Listed below are some important points to consider:

• Do not smoke, use naked flames (or be near people who are smoking or using naked flames), or go near anything else that may cause a fire while the emollient is in contact with your clothes, dressing, or bandages (for example, do not lean over a lit gas cooker or candle, and do not allow lit cigarettes to touch clothing or dressings).
• Ensure that your clothes and bedding are changed regularly (preferably daily), as the paraffin can soak into fabric and potentially become a fire hazard.
• Wash bedding and clothing at high temperatures (between 60-90 degrees Celsius) to reduce the build-up of paraffin. Avoid wearing delicate garments when using emollient creams, as they cannot be washed at high temperatures without causing damage.
• Be careful to ensure that the paraffin does not soak into chairs, seating, or other furniture by covering them with a throw that can be washed daily.
• Inform your relatives or carers about your treatment and show them this leaflet.
• Tell your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist if you normally smoke, as they will be able to offer you help and advice to stop smoking.

Your treatment is important, but it is essential that you are kept safe while using these prescribed products. By following the advice above, you will help ensure that you are using these products safely.

Please speak to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist if you have any questions about the information provided.
