What is the danger

The solder contains an excessive amount of cadmium and lead (measured values up to 4% and 0.06% by weight respectively). Lead and cadmium pose a risk to the environment. Furthermore, the charging cable and the suction cap contain short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCP) (measured values up to 6.7% and 4.8% by weight, respectively). The 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. The charging cable contains also an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values 1.17% and 0.7% by weight, respectively). The phthalates DEHP and DBP may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system.
