These phthalates may harm the health by possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. Moreover, the product has an excessive concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins SCCPs, which 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.
