Danger: The product contains excessive amounts of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (measured values up to 6.58% and 2.22% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may pose a risk to human health and the environment. In addition, the product contains excessive amounts of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs). 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. Moreover, the product has an excessive concentration of lead (measured value: 1.28% by weight). Lead is harmful to human health, accumulates in the body and may affect breast-fed or unborn children. Additionally, the product contains nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) (measured value: 266 mg/kg by weight). NPEs are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that break down into nonylphenol, which can cause serious health effects, including reproductive harm, developmental abnormalities and potential cancer risks.
