Hazard: The plastic material of the USB cable has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values up to: 2.03%, 1.16% and 0.4% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, 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. Solders in the product have excessive concentrations of lead and cadmium (measured value up to 81.6% and 0.51% by weight, respectively). Lead poses a risk to the environment. Cadmium bio- accumulates and poses a risk to the environment.
