Hazard: The plastic material of the product has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (up to 14% by weight). This phthalate may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. The plastic material of the product also has excessive concentrations of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values: up to 1.06% 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.
