Dressing Table · Fashion doll set

The plastic in the head and legs of the doll contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-isononyl phthalate (DINP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values up to 25.2%, 1.4%, 4.3%, 0.17% and 0.24% by weight respectively). The solder in the toy contains an excessive amount of lead and cadmium (measured values up to 66.5% and 0.4% by weight respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system and liver. SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bioaccumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. Lead and cadmium pose a risk to the environment. The product does not comply with the requirements of the REACH Regulation, the Regulation on persistent organic pollutants (POP Regulation) and the Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS 2 Directive).
