Hazard: The plastic material in the cable has excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values: up to 19% and 1.1% by weight, respectively). This phthalate may harm the health of users, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. 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.

What is this? These are light chains for a Christmas tree. The plastic in the wires has too much of two chemicals called DEHP and SCCPs.
What's happening? The chemicals can harm your body and the environment. DEHP may hurt your ability to have children. SCCPs can cause cancer with long skin contact.
Does this affect me? If you have these lights, you could be at risk. They may also pollute the air and water.
What should I do? Stop using them right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you feel sick. Return the lights to where you bought them.
