What is the danger
A solder in the plastic of the USB cable has excessive concentrations of lead (measured value up to 70% and 0.16% by weight, respectively). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The solder in the plastic of the battery has an excessive concentration of cadmium (measured value: up to 0.28% by weight). Cadmium bio- accumulates and poses a risk to the environment. The plastic material of the cable has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values up to 1.85% and 0.79% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health by possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. The product has an excessive concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 1.08% by weight). SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bio-accumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. Prolonged exposure to them through the skin may cause cancer.
