What is the danger
The product has excessive concentrations of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (measured values up to: 0.68%, 3.3 % and 1.1% 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. These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system.
