Risk Description
The plastic material of the cable has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values up to: 2.2%, 1.4% and 5.7% by weight, respectively).

Prolonged exposure to them through the skin may cause cancer. Solders in the product have an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 31.5% by weight, respectively). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The product does not comply with the requirements of the RoHS 2 Directive nor with the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) Regulation.
