Risk Description
The black plastic in the cable, solder in a connection to battery and solders on the PCB in the product have excessive concentrations of lead (measured value: 0.27%, 60% and 53% by weight respectively). Lead poses a risk to the environment. Moreover, the solder in a connection to the battery has an excessive concentration of cadmium (measured value: up to 0.24% by weight). Cadmium bio-accumulates and poses a risk to the environment. The plastic material in the cable has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values: up to 2.26% and 1.43% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health by possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. The plastic material in the cable has an excessive concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value: up to 0.5 % by weight). 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. The product does not comply with Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) Regulation nor with the requirements of the Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS 2 Directive).
