By purchasing sharps (syringes or pen needles) you are asserting that you are over 18 years of age and that you intend to use these medical devices for the treatment of canine or feline diabetes. They are NOT for human use.
Although prescriptions are not legally required in the UK for sharps (syringes, pen needles, etc.), suppliers may reserve the right to refuse any order in the event that filling such order would violate any federal, state, or local law or regulation.
It is an offence to sell these products to someone younger than the minimum legal age and for some products, it is an offence for somebody below the legal age to try to buy them. There are also ‘proxy purchasing’ offences for those over the legal age buying alcohol for those underage. These products are not for resale.
Trading Standards have a duty to enforce the law on underage sales of these products. We carry out regular exercises and inspections to check that age restricted products are not sold to people below the legal age.
