What is the risk?
- The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 51.2 % by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The plastic material of the cable has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate DBP and short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values up to 1.4%, 0.8% and 6.2% by weight, respectively). DEHP and DBP may harm the health of children by causing possible damage to their reproductive system. SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bio-accumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. Prolonged exposure to them through the skin may cause cancer. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS Directive) nor with the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) Regulation.
