General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988

In accordance with the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR), we ensure that all products offered through MxW – your store for collars, accessories & more are compliant with applicable European Union safety requirements and suitable for their intended use. Our philosophy emphasizes handcrafted quality inspired by individuality and creative expression, tailored to members of vibrant communities such as the furry fandom. MXW

Many of our products are handmade, including bespoke items such as hand-sewn collars, fursuit sprays, accessories, and custom tags. As such, they are crafted with care, attention to detail, and consideration of both materials and performance in everyday use. Custom and handmade variations may show slight aesthetic differences that do not affect product safety or functionality. MXW

We assess each product for safety by considering design, materials, intended use, and reasonably foreseeable misuse. Where applicable, relevant safety information, handling instructions, and warnings are included to support safe and informed use. Due to the handcrafted nature of some items, variations in appearance are normal and do not compromise overall product safety. MXW

Risk Rating of offered Products

1 = very low (mostly harmless) → 5 = higher (needs clear warnings / stricter checks)

Risk ratings by product type on mediastinum.shop

e-Gift Card

1/5 (Very low) — digital product, essentially no physical safety risk.

Printed items: postcards / cards / book

1–2/5 (Low) — typical risks: paper cuts, ink sensitivity; adult/spicy items should keep age/labeling consistent.

Stickers (vinyl)

1–2/5 (Low) — minor risk: small parts for kids (choking), adhesive skin irritation in rare cases.

Clothing (hoodies / streetwear)

2/5 (Low–moderate) — standard apparel risks: allergy/skin sensitivity, drawstring snagging, flammability expectations, sizing/comfort.

Fursuit Spray (50 ml) + 2 ml samples

3/5 (Moderate) — chemical exposure risks: eye irritation, skin sensitivity/allergy, inhalation discomfort; also potential flammability depending on base/solvent. Needs clear “avoid eyes/mucosa, patch test, keep away from children/heat” style guidance.

Contains: Essential Oils, Isopropy-2 Alcohol, Destilled Water

Can:s collars (incl. B-Product)

3–4/5 (Moderate to higher) — biggest risks are strangulation/entrapment, misuse (too tight), hardware failure, or catching on objects. B-Product being “cosmetic only” doesn’t reduce safety needs. You’ll want fit guidance + intended use + “not for unattended wear” style warning.

Collar tags (wood / acrylic accents, etc.)

2–3/5 (Low–moderate) — small-item hazards: choking (kids/pets), sharp edges/splinters, ring/hardware failure. Also “pet accessory vs costume accessory” clarity helps.

Keychains / accessories

2–3/5 (Low–moderate) — similar to tags: small parts + sharp edges + durability of rings/clasps.

Can:s Mini paracord wristband

2–3/5 (Low–moderate) — entanglement/snags, tightening risk if misused, small hardware parts. If marketed as “survival,” avoid overpromising and keep use guidance simple.
