Why it's dangerous
The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead and cadmium (measured values up to 67% and 0.56% by weight, respectively). Additionally, the plastic material of the product has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values up to 16%, 1.5% and 0.14% by weight, respectively). Lead poses a risk to the environment, and cadmium bio-accumulates and poses a risk to the environment.
