Why it's dangerous
The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 59% by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment. Additionally, the plastic material of the product has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values up to 15% and 0.16% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health by causing possible damage to the reproductive system.
