Reported risk: Der Behälter hat kein sicheres Verschlusssystem, das es einem Kind ermöglicht, ihn leicht zu öffnen und auf den Talkum-Puder zuzugreifen. Talkum kann durch Einatmen in die Lunge eines Babys gelangen und zu Atemstörungen oder schweren Lungenschäden führen. Darüber hinaus weist das Produkt eine übermäßige Konzentration von Arsen, Cadmium auf und enthält Blei (Messwerte: 4,50 mg/kg, 0,66 mg/kg bzw. 29,5 mg/kg). Arsen kann Krebs verursachen, die Fruchtbarkeit oder das ungeborene Kind schädigen und durch länger andauernde oder wiederholte Exposition Organe schädigen. Cadmium ist schädlich für die menschliche Gesundheit, da es sich im Körper anreichert, Nieren und Knochen schädigen kann und Krebs verursachen kann. Blei ist schädlich für die menschliche Gesundheit, reichert sich im Körper an und kann gestillte oder ungeborene Kinder beeinträchtigen.

Product Name (original English): Fulah Raneem Soft Baby Powder
Risk Description (original English): The container does not have a secure closure system which allows a child to easily open it and access the talc powder. Talc can enter a baby's lungs per inhalation, leading to respiratory impairment or severe lung damage. Additionally, the product has an excessive concentration of arsenic, cadmium and contains lead (measured values: 4.50 mg/kg, 0.66 mg/kg and 29.5 mg/kg, respectively). Arsenic may cause cancer, may damage fertility or the unborn child, causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Cadmium is harmful to human health because it accumulates in the body, can damage the kidneys and bones and it may cause cancer. Lead is harmful to human health, accumulates in the body, can cause developmental neurotoxicity and may affect breast-fed or unborn children.
The product also lacks warnings in German language.
