Electric insect trap

What is the danger

The solder has an excessive concentration of lead (Pb) (measured value up to 38.08%). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The plastic wire cape of the toy contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) (measured values up to 2.30%, 2.18% and 2.44% by weight respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to their reproductive system. The product also contains short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value 4%). 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.
