What the authority reported
The product has an excessive concentration of cadmium (measured value up to 0.056% by weight). Additionally, the rate of nickel release is too high (measured value up to 89.89 µg/cm2/week). Cadmium is harmful to human health because it accumulates in the body, can damage the kidneys and bones and it may cause cancer. Nickel is a strong sensitiser and causes allergic reactions if present in articles that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin. This product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
