Is peel and stick wallpaper safe?Updated 4 months ago

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

• HAZARD OF SUFFOCATION for infants due to removable peel and stick wallpaper failure when installed on a textured wall.
• 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 walls, undamaged, with no cracking paint, dry paint, and without humidity exposure.
• Keep away from cribs and out of reach of young children to prevent choking hazard.

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, but needs a completely smooth surface to stay put. Think of a big sticker, the more you peel it off to adjust the less it will stick.
