What is the danger

The product has an excessive concentration of lead (measured values up to 55 % by weight). The plastic in the cord has an excessive concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 3 % by weight). Lead poses a risk to 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.
