Reported risk: The inside portion of the face mask contains a phthalate, di(2-thylhexyl) (DEHP), which exceeds the allowable limit. Studies suggest that certain phthalates, including DEHP, may cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in young children when soft vinyl products containing phthalates are sucked or chewed for extended periods. Neither Health Canada nor Rubie's Costume Company has received any reports of incident or injuries related to the use of this Halloween costume. For further information on phthalates in children's products, see Health Canada's website .
