What is the danger
The plastic cable has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 12 % by weight) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 0.2 % by weight). DEHP 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.
