CHAEVA 9933010 boot

Description

The product in question is a leather boot. The exterior part of the boot is leather, originating in Portugal or South America. The interior of the boot has a textile strip originating in Italy. The upper part of the boot interior is made of a leather strip about 2 cm wide. This leather is thought to originate from China and could therefore have been treated with dimethylfumarate as there are no sachets either in the boots or the boxes. A composition label is attached to the interior of the boot marked "Made in Portugal".

Risk

The product poses a chemical risk because it contains 19 ppm dimethylfumarate (DMF). Symptoms of the allergy which can be caused by this substance are itching, redness, burning sensations, articular pain and also highly incapacitating, generalised eczema. Furthermore, it appears that the allergy resulting from contact with dimethylfumarate can, when combined with other diseases, cause chronic attacks or serious respiratory problems. The characteristics of this substance, such as its volatility which enables it to cause contamination by diffusion in surrounding products, and its ability to be permanently absorbed in finished products exposed to it, accentuate its dangerous nature. One incident reported.

Measures

• Voluntary withdrawal from the market by the distributor
