WARNING

The mirror glass is made of several layers and contains an electrolyte to achieve the dimming functionality. Beware of liquid electrolyte which runs out of a broken mirror glass.

The liquid electrolyte can irritate skin, eyes and respiratory organs.

If liquid electrolyte got into your eyes or onto the skin, wash it immediately with plenty of water. If the irritation continues, seek advice from a doctor immediately.

Caution

If liquid electrolyte which ran out of a broken mirror glass comes in contact with plastic surfaces, the surfaces will be damaged. Wipe off spilled electrolyte immediately using clear water and a sponge.
