Reported risk: The balloons release an excessive amount of nitrosatable substances (measured total value up to 1.81 mg/kg). Nitrosatable substances can be transformed into nitrosamines which may cause cancer through ingestion or dermal exposure. A child will be exposed to them when blowing up or touching the balloons.
