Just used one of these the other day. No way you’re mistaking the liquid with a twist off cap as an eye dropper (unless you’re blindly dropping mystery liquids in your eye).
Dermal contact is more likely. They do have ample warnings on the box though and there are plenty of other toxic things in our environment that we consciously don’t apply to the skin, so I don’t really see the problem here aside from “may contain harmful ingredients use caution”.

The free NHS rapid LFT in the UK has a little single-dose ampule you break open by twisting off part of the plastic, a lot like disposable eye drop ampules. Basically identical.
- blackkat 5y agoDepending upon where you grew up, eye drops (both medicated and non) are supplied in single use droppers that have twist off tops that look exactly the same. Personal experience and knowledge does not map perfectly to others experiences.
- dpark 5y agoReally depends on the kit. The ones I’ve used don’t have a dropper at all. They came with a prefilled (capped) tube. Certainly those aren’t going to be mistaken for eye dropper bottles. But not all kits are the same. (The ones I got are more likely to be accidentally spilled when prying those caps off. Maybe more of a hazard.)
