Reported risk: The plastic material of the product has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values up to 6.0%, 0.02%, 1.3% and 5.2% by weight, respectively). The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 35 % by weight). These phthalates may harm the health by causing possible damage to the reproductive system. Lead poses a risk to the environment. 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.
