The solder contains an excessive amount of lead and cadmium (measured values 42,70 % and 0,20% by weight, respectively). Lead poses a risk to the environment. Cadmium is harmful to human health because it accumulates in the body, can damage the kidneys and bones, and it may cause cancer. The plastic material of the protective tube contains an excessive amount of bis(2-etylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and benzyl butyl phthalata (BBP) (measured values 1,81% and 6,35% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation and with the requirements of the Commission Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS 2 Directive).
