The hazard

Solders in the product and plastic in the USB cable have excessive concentrations of lead (measured value up to 70.6% by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The plastic material of the cable has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values up to 0.58% and 2.07% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health by possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. The product has an excessive concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 3.7% 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. The product does not comply with the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) Regulation nor with the requirements of the Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS 2 Directive).
