What is the danger

The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value: up to 86% by weight). In addition, the plastic material has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values up to 2.4% and 1.5% by weight, respectively) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 2.6 % by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment and the phthalates DEHP and DBP poses a risk to human health and the environment. 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.
