What is the danger
The plastic material of the shoes contains excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values up to 1.2% and 20% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children by causing possible damage to their reproductive system. Moreover, it contains cadmium and lead (measured values up to 0.026% and 0.084% by weight, respectively). Lead is harmful to human health, accumulates in the body, can cause developmental neurotoxicity and may also affect breast-fed or unborn children. Cadmium is harmful to human health because it accumulates in the body, can damage the kidneys and bones, and it may cause cancer.
