Caution
The Polaroid film process uses a caustic jelly which is safely packed inside sealed containers
within the film pack. If accidentally you should get some of this jelly on your skin, wipe it
off immediately. To avoid an alkali burn, wash the area with plenty of water as soon as possible.
It is particularly important to keep the jelly away from eyes and mouth. Keep discarded
materials out of reach of children and animals, and out of contact with clothing and furniture, as
discarded materials still contain some jelly.
