What is the danger

The product has an excessive concentration of cobalt, lead, arsenic and nickel (measured values: 15.8 % each by weight). Cobalt is a skin and respiratory sensitiser and may cause cancer. Lead is harmful to human health, accumulates in the body, can cause developmental neurotoxicity (only if exposure to children expected) and may affect breast-fed or unborn children. Arsenic may cause cancer, may damage fertility or the unborn child, causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Nickel is a strong sensitiser and causes allergic reactions if present in articles that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin.
