What is the danger

The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 77.3 % by weight). 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 8.23% and 3.45% by weight, respectively). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The phthalate 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 SCCPs through the skin may cause cancer.
