An outbreak of rubber fingerstall dermatitis in a Danish post office was found to be caused by minute amounts of isopropylphenyl‐para‐phenylenediamine (IPPD) in the fingerstalls. The presence of IPPD in the fingerstalls could not be explained by the manufacturer and had to be confirmed by gas chromatographic analysis.
