What’s the hazard
The solders have an excessive concentration of lead, measured at up to 52.8% by weight. The plastic of the cable has excessive concentrations of DEHP, DBP and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs). Measured values were up to 0.28%, 0.48% and 1.25% by weight, respectively.
Lead poses a risk to the environment. 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. They pose a risk to human health and the environment. Prolonged exposure to them through the skin may cause cancer.
The product does not comply with the RoHS 2 Directive or the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) Regulation. The alert classes the hazard as an environmental risk.
What to do
The measure taken is the withdrawal of the product from the market. The importer carried it out.
