Hazard

The Halloween banner contains excessive amounts of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to: 16 % by weight) and of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value: 0.5 % by weight). Solders contain an excessive amount of lead (measured value up to 10.9 % by weight). DEHP may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. The placing on the market and use of articles containing SCCPs is banned. 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. Lead poses a risk to the environment. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation, the Regulation on persistent organic polutants (POP Regulation) and the requirements of the RoHS-2 Directive.
