What is the danger

The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead and cadmium (measured value up to 76% and 0.06% by weight, respectively). The plastic material of the cable has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values up to: 4%, 0,5% and 3.2% by weight, respectively). Lead and cadmium pose a risk to the environment. DEHP and DBP 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.
