Why it's dangerous
The solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 66.6% by weight). The plastic material of the cable has an excessive concentration of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values up to 1.08% and 5.09% by weight, respectively).Lead poses a risk to the environment. DBP poses 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.
