- The plastic material of the product contains short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured values up to 4.83 % and 2.85 % by weight, respectively). The metal solder in the product contains an excessive amount of lead (measured value up to: 0.21 % by weight).SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bioaccumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment.Lead poses a risk to the environment and is harmful to human health, as it accumulates in the body, can cause developmental neurotoxicity and may affect breast-fed or unborn children. Phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. The product does not comply with REACH, with the requirements of the Commission Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS 2 Directive) and of the Regulation on persistent organic polutants (POP Regulation).
