What is the danger
The earring's back releases an excessive amount of nickel (measured value up to: 9.9 µg/cm2/week). Additionally, the pendant of the product contains an excessive amount of lead and cadmium (measured values: 4.70 % and 0.23 % by weight, respectively). Nickel is a strong sensitiser and causes allergic reactions if present in articles that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin. Lead is harmful to human health, accumulates in the body, can cause developmental neurotoxicity and may affect breast-fed or unborn children. Cadmium is harmful to human health because it accumulates in the body, can damage the kidney and bones and it may cause cancer.
