Is peel and stick wallpaper safe?Updated 5 months ago

You won't find this Safety Disclaimer on other wallpaper websites, but we want to be completely transparent. This information applies to any removable peel and stick wallpaper, unless the manufacturer specifically recommends the product for textured walls.

  • HAZARD OF SUFFOCATION for infants due to removable peel and stick wallpaper failure when installed on a textured wall. Keep away from cribs and out of reach of young children to prevent choking hazard.
  • Removable peel and stick wallpapers are NOT SAFE when installed on textured walls.
  • Removable peel and stick wallpapers are completely safe when used on smooth, undamaged walls with no cracking paint, no dry paint, and without humidity exposure.

But why would it fall down? The truth is that all peel and stick wallpapers use a low grade adhesive. This is what allows the paper to be easily removed with no damage to the wall, but it needs a completely smooth surface to stay put. Think of it like a big sticker, the more you peel it off to adjust the less it will stick.
