Do Not Insert

The do-not-insert icon represents insertion warnings and placement prohibitions in safety systems. Featuring a crossed-out insertion or placement symbol, this icon has become the standard warning against improper insertion, incorrect placement, and dangerous object positioning across product safety and equipment operation platforms.

In modern applications like equipment safety manuals or product warning labels, you'll see this icon indicating insertion hazards and placement warnings. It appears in safety documentation when warning against improper insertion, or in applications like machinery operation guides when users need to understand prohibited placements and insertion dangers.

From a safety design perspective, the no-insertion symbol communicates more than just 'don't' - it specifically indicates mechanical hazards, electrical dangers, and the serious consequences of improper object placement. This visual warning helps prevent equipment damage and personal injury.

Do Not Insert is one of 329 icons in Flat Color Icons, made by Icons8 and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 48 × 48 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds DoNotInsertIcon to components/icons/flat-color-icons-do-not-insert.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed DoNotInsertIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Do Not Insert icon, or any of 329 Flat Color Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 48 × 48 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Do Not Insert", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. DoNotInsertIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <DoNotInsertIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Flat Color Icons, Icons8 and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are warning, safety, danger, hazard, prohibition and insertion. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Do Not Insert in another set.
