- Hazard
- The product presents a serious chemical risk as the yellow-coloured slime contains excess concentrations of boron. The sample was found to contain 719 ± 137mg/kg of boron, which exceeds the maximum permissible concentration of 300mg/kg. Digestion or contact with an excessive quantity of boron may harm the health of children by damaging their reproductive system.
- Additionally, the plastic ‘lolly’ accessory contains Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) at a level greater than 1.0 ± 0.08%. This exceeds the specified maximum limit of 0.1% by mass of the plasticised material, as the sum of the four phthalates. Phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. A required marking was found to be missing from the toy itself.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 or the REACH Regulations 2008.
