Hazard

The plastic material of the toy contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (measured values: 14,9% and 2,1% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. In addition, the product contains short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value: 0,45%). 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. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation and the Regulation on persistent organic pollutants (POP Regulation).
