The hazard

The solder contains an excessive amount of cadmium and lead (measured values up to 4% and 0.06% by weight respectively). Lead and cadmium pose a risk to the environment. Furthermore, the charging cable and the suction cap contain short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCP) (measured values up to 6.7% and 4.8% by weight, respectively). The SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bioaccumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. The charging cable contains also an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values 1.17% and 0.7% by weight, respectively). The phthalates DEHP and DBP may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS 2 Directive), the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Regulation nor the REACH Regulation.
