Why it's dangerous
The plastic material of the cable has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffines ( SCCPs) (measured values up to 1.93% , 0.94% and 0,19% by weight, respectively). The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead. (measured value up to 35.8% by weight). DEHP and DBP pose a risk to human health and 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. Lead poses a risk to the environment.
