The product has excessive concentrations of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs), bis(2ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and cadmium (measured values up to 2.3%,16% and 0.027% by weight, respectively). 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. DEHP may harm the health by causing possible damage to the reproductive system. Cadmium is harmful to human health because it accumulates in the body, can damage the kidneys and bones and it may cause cancer. The product does not comply with the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) Regulation nor with the REACH Regulation.
