What is the danger
The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to: 74.5 % by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The plastic material of the cable has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and short chained chlorinated paraffines (SCCPs) (measured values: up to 4.5%, 1.2% and 4.9% by weight, respectively). These phthalates pose 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.
