Looking at your picture, I believe that stick is one that is marketed for underarm use. If true, the quote is something quite common with underarm products. Supposedly, people suffer from dry skin there which would lead to cracking. I would image, since it is not meant to be rinsed off right away, getting alum into cracks in skin would be rather uncomfortable. I don't have any such warning on my alum block. If it is legal in France, EU, it should be safe for its intended purpose. They have been manufacturing and using it for a very long time.do not use it on open or damaged skin
