LED lantern

What is the danger

The solder contains an excessive amount of lead and cadmium (measured value up to 14,82 % and 0,16 % by weight, respectively). Furthermore, the plastic of the charging cord contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCP) (measured value up to 2.29%, 1.03% and 3.8% by weight, respectively). The phtalates DEHP and DBP may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. Lead and cadmium pose a risk to the environment. 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.
