Active protection of minors is an important measure to prevent accidents and health risks when using poppers. We therefore only sell poppers to adults. Only from this age can you realistically assess and calculate the risks associated with the consumption of poppers.

Legal guidelines for the protection of minors
Just as for the use of alcohol or tobacco, there are clear legal guidelines for the sale and consumption of chemicals. Poppers contain some ingredients that we are only allowed to sell to people who are of legal age. To comply with these legal regulations, we carry out an age check in our online store. This system has already proven itself in our online store for several years.
Obligation to verify age
To be on the safe side and comply with youth protection regulations in the best possible way, we stipulated back in 2022 that all new customers in our online store who are resident in Switzerland must undergo age verification. Various methods can be considered for this age check. For an automated age check, we require proof of your Swiss identity card. Alternatively, you can send a copy of your ID to our customer service by e-mail. This regulation applies to all customers domiciled in Switzerland.
Optimal protection of orders
Our intention is to optimally secure orders on the Internet. In our opinion, it is not sufficient for this purpose to carry out a simple age check on our platform. Many websites prefer this query by displaying a pop-up stating “I am over 18 years old” when you open their site. However, checking the correct age of customers in this way leaves a lot to be desired, as the query can be answered in the affirmative by any user. We play it safe by checking the age of our customers when they register. In this way, we are specifically guided by the regulations for the protection of minors in Switzerland.
Protection of minors – an important topic
The protection of minors is very important to us. We also actively pursue prevention and awareness-raising measures. Together with our age verification conditions, we make an important contribution to the protection of minors and product safety in our online store.
