Why it's dangerous
The plastic material of the product contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values up to: 28.85 % and 0.41% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. Moreover, the product has an excessive concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 2.65% 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.
