What is the danger

The white plastic in the cable, the solder in connection to battery and the solders on the PCB of the product have excessive concentrations of lead (measured values up to 0.26%, 31.8% and 75.9% by weight, respectively). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The white plastic material in the cable has excessive an concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values up to 1.69%, 1.67 % and 6.49 % by weight, respectively). The black leather material of the product has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 19.3%). These phthalates may harm the health by causing possible damage to the reproductive system. 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
