HDMI cable

What is the danger

The black plastic material has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values: 2.44% and 0.21% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. The product also has an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 0.19% by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The plastic cable also 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.
