Reported risk: The product has an excessive concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value: 3.6 % by weight). 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 solders and the PVC material in the cord have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 54.9 % by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The cord material has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values: 1.7% and 1.3% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of cadmium (measured value: 0.14% by weight). Cadmium bio-accumulates and poses a risk to the environment.
