What is the danger

The plastic material of the product has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 10.6% by weight) and short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values: up to 2.2 % by weight). This phthalate may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bioaccumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment.
