We have
been using latex in our every day life since the
1920ˇ¦s.
Latex is present in items like wall paint,
childrenˇ¦s balls, our clothing, mattresses, and
car tires. In recent years, there has been a great
amount of attention on the increased occurrence
of latex allergies. In fact, statistics show that
8-12% of healthcare workers are latex sensitive.
However, this information and statistic can not
be applied to the latex foam products produced
by DSC. In a study conducted by the FDA over a
four-year period, over 1,118 recorded incidents
of latex allergies were documented. Each of these
complaints was related to products with medical
utility. With over 30 years
in the industry, we have never
received a report or complaint of an allergic
reaction to our products. Why? Because there is
a distinct difference between the process used
to make such items as rubber latex gloves used
in medical facilities and the process bywhich
our products are made, a profound difference in
the methods used to clean our products versus
other latex products, and a difference in the
manufacturing standards in which our mattresses
and pillows are held. |
