Pottery wheel

What is the danger

The plastic cord has excessive concentrations of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured value up to: 1.4%, 0.32% and 1.5% by weight, respectively). The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value: up to 32% by weight). 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. These phthalates may harm the health of children by causing possible damage to their reproductive system. Lead poses a risk to the environment.
