What’s the hazard
The alert rates this as a serious risk. The plastic material of the cable has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs). The solders in the product contain lead.
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 on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, nor with the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) Regulation.

The measure taken is the withdrawal of the product from the market. The distributor took this step from April 30, 2026.
