What is the danger

The plastic material of the cables of the product contains an excessive amount of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and lead (measured values up to: 0.87 % and 0.26 % by weight, respectively). Lead poses a risk to the environment and is harmful to human health, as it accumulates in the body, can cause developmental neurotoxicity and may affect breast-fed or unborn children. 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.
