What is the danger

The plastic material of the cable has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 0.37 % by weight). The plastic also has excessive concentrations of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 1.15 % by weight) DEHP poses 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.
