Aroma diffuser

What is the danger

The solders on the charger's Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and the remote's PCB have excessive concentrations of lead (measured values up to 69% by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The plastic material of the cable has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values: up to 0.15% and 0.9% by weight). DEHP poses 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.
