Why it's dangerous
Environment
High levels of C9–C14 Perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids were found in the outer fabric of the product. These chemicals are very difficult to break down, can spread through the environment and may build up over time. Their release from products can contribute to long-lasting and potentially irreversible pollution, posing a serious risk to the environment.
The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.
