Reported risk: Le produit présente une concentration excessive de cobalt et d'arsenic (valeurs mesurées jusqu'à 0,91 mg/kg et 0,99 mg/kg en poids, respectivement). Le cobalt est un sensibilisant cutané et respiratoire et peut provoquer le cancer. L'arsenic peut provoquer le cancer, peut nuire à la fertilité ou à l'enfant à naître, provoque des lésions aux organes par exposition prolongée ou répétée. De plus, l'étiquette du produit ne mentionne pas la présence de nickel et des conservateurs méthylisothiazolinone, méthylchloroisothiazolinone et benzisothiazolinone. Les consommateurs ne sont donc pas avertis qu'ils peuvent présenter des réactions allergiques ou souffrir de sensibilisation cutanée. Le produit n'est pas conforme au règlement REACH ni au règlement

Product Name (original English): Encre stérile - mélange pour le tatouage - Dynamic

Risk Description (original English): The product has an excessive concentration of cobalt and arsenic (measured values up to 0.91 mg/kg and 0.99 mg/kg by weight, respectively). Cobalt is a skin and respiratory sensitiser and may cause cancer. Arsenic may cause cancer, may damage fertility or the unborn child, causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Moreover, the label of the product fails to inform of the presence of nickel and the preservatives methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone and benzisothiazolinone. Consumers are therefore not warned that they may have allergic reactions or suffer from skin sensitisation.
