Important Notice: Handling and Use of Yew Wood Products!

Please be advised that yew wood contains toxic compounds, especially concentrated in its leaves, seeds, and bark, primarily in the form of taxine alkaloids. Although the wood itself is typically safe for crafting purposes, it should be handled responsibly and should never be ingested or come into contact with the mouth.

Due to the nature of this material, products containing yew wood are not suitable for individuals under 16 years of age and should only be handled by those over 16 under direct parental supervision. In accordance with legal standards, buyers on online platforms must be 18 years or older. As the seller, I do not accept liability for any misuse, mishandling, or inappropriate transfer of my yew wood products. My products are intended exclusively for jewellery, decoration, and crafting purposes and are not to be used for any other applications, particularly those involving ingestion or direct contact with the mouth.

Additionally, any wood shavings or sawdust provided as part of my eco-initiative are intended solely for use in spells, rituals, spiritual practices, camping tinder, and other crafting activities. These materials must not be used to prepare teas, tisanes, tinctures, or any consumable products. Should these products be used outside of their intended purpose, all legal responsibility rests with the buyer.

To promote safety, it is strongly recommended to keep these items out of the reach of children and store them carefully. These products are also not recommended for individuals with neurodivergent conditions who may have a tendency to chew on objects as part of a stim, like a pen lid. By purchasing from this store, you are acknowledging and agreeing to these terms, conditions, and all disclaimers provided in this notice.

Ingesting parts of the yew tree, such as the leaves, seeds, or bark, can lead to severe poisoning. Yew contains toxic compounds called taxine alkaloids, which can affect the heart, nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms of yew poisoning may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, difficulty breathing, seizures, and potentially fatal heart rhythm disturbances. Ingesting even small amounts of yew plant material can be dangerous and may require immediate medical attention. It's essential to seek emergency medical care if ingestion of yew is suspected.
