What is the danger
The product contains short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 1.21 % by weight). The placing on the market and use of articles containing SCCPs is banned. SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bioaccumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. Furthermore, the plastic material of the product contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (measured values up to 17.6 % and 18.4% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system.
