Reported risk: Plastkabeln har en för hög halt av bis(2-etylhexyl)ftalat (DEHP) (uppmätt värde upp till 12 viktprocent) och kortkedjiga klorparaffiner (SCCP) (uppmätt värde upp till 0,2 viktprocent). DEHP kan skada barns hälsa och orsaka möjlig skada på deras reproduktionssystem. SCCP är beständiga i miljön, är giftiga för vattenlevande organismer vid låga koncentrationer och bioackumuleras hos vilda djur och människor, vilket utgör en risk för människors hälsa och miljön. Produkten uppfyller inte kraven i REACH-förordningen eller POPs-förordningen.

Machine translation. This page was translated automatically from the English record we hold of the issuing authority’s notice. The English original is shown below and the authority’s own notice is linked above — both take precedence over this translation.
Product Name (original English): Glow light string
Risk Description (original English): The plastic cable has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 12 % by weight) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 0.2 % by weight). DEHP may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system.
SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bioaccumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment.
