Why it's dangerous
The solders in the product have excessive concentrations of lead and cadmium (measured values up to 70% and 0.125% by weight, respectively). The plastic material of the cable has an excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values: 1.73%, 2.07% and 4.98% by weight, respectively). These phthalates pose a risk to human health and the environment. Cadmium bio-accumulates and poses a risk to the environment. Lead poses a risk to the environment. 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. Prolonged exposure to them through the skin may cause cancer.
