What is the danger
The product has excessive concentrations of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured values: up to 1.5% and 13% by weight, respectively). 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. DEHP may harm the health by causing possible damage to the reproductive system.
