Hazard

The product poses a risk for the environment because the plastic in the yoga mat contains up to 0.8% short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCP). 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. The product does not comply with the Commission Regulation on persistent organic pollutants (POP Regulation).
