Misuse of our Products

We sell a range of whipped cream making equipment for whipping cream and the creation espuma foams/mousses. The cream charger cartridges contain a gas called Nitrous Oxide (N2O) that can be abused in the same way that glue or solvents. We call this 'misuse' because the product is not being used for the purpose it is designed. The risks of such misuse include narcosis, asphyxiation and potentially, death.

It is an Offense to supply cream whipping chargers for the purpose of inhalation and an Offense to supply cream chargers to anyone under 18. It is also an Offense to supply them to someone that it could reasonably be concluded intended to misuse the chargers or sell them for misuse. If you are a catering retailer you must make sure that your customers are over 18 and are intending to use the cream chargers to make food.

If we suspect that you intend to misuse the cream chargers or sell them to others for misuse we will refuse to sell any equipment to you. We will refuse to do business with you in the future and your account (name, addresses etc) will registered in our database so that you cannot purchase form us again. At the request of the Police we securely store details of all cases of misuse of cream chargers that are reported to us. If the Police formally request information about a particular sale we will disclose it. But please trust that we value your right to privacy and are completely opposed to the state interfering in peoples lives unnecessarily. So we have strict procedures in place to make sure each request is specific to a particular case with a proper witness statement request and not a general request - i.e. a trawl for information.
