Common household items include rubber gloves for cleaning, balloons, rubber bands, elastic bands in clothing, underwear, socks, and waistbands, baby bottle nipples and pacifiers, condoms, adhesive bandages and medical tape, elastic in bedding and fitted sheets, carpet backing, yoga mats, bath mats, shoe soles and athletic shoes, tires, hoses, and some mattresses and pillows made from latex foam. Also household items like erasers, some sponges, and swim caps contain latex. Synthetic latex is in many household items like latex paint, which is water based acrylic paint containing synthetic latex, adhesives, and sealants. Kitchen items like dishwashing gloves often contain latex. Some toys and baby toys contain latex. So household items containing latex are cleaning gloves, balloons, rubber bands, elastic clothing, baby products, bandages, carpet backing, yoga mats, shoes, mattresses, and latex paint. If you have latex allergy, check labels and use latex free alternatives like nitrile gloves and non-latex balloons.
