All balloons

WARNING! NEVER under any circumstances inhale, or allow anyone else to inhale, helium balloon gas. This can cause asphyxiation, leading to unconsciousness and DEATH due to lack of oxygen.

First Aid measures in the event of inhalation; symptoms include loss of mobility or consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Keep patient warm and rested. Call for professional help immediately. Apply artificial respiration if breathing has stopped.

Many balloon sticks come in two pieces; a cup, which attaches to the balloon, and a stick. The cup is fairly small and may present a choking hazard should it become loose.

Balloon valves are inserted into the neck of some balloons to create a seal. Because they are small and made of plastic, they also present a choking hazard. Make sure any old or burst balloons are disposed of immediately and always keep uninflated balloons away from children.

Balloons are for decorative purposes only – they are not a toy. Go2Balloons cannot be held responsible for any accident or injury following the misuse of balloons.

Important

At the end of a balloon’s life, cut the end of the balloon with scissors to remove any air or gas, then dispose of it in the bin. NEVER release balloons into the environment.
