The rubber of the dark blue balloons releases an excessive amount of N-nitrosamines (measured value: 0.076 mg/kg), among which n-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA). Nitrosamamines may cause cancer through ingestion or dermal exposure. A child could be exposed to them when touching or putting the product in the mouth.
