Description

Light grey sweatshirt. It bears a coloured print of Tweety Bird wearing a red and green hat and a green bathing suit. He is holding three red flowers and watching three butterflies of different sizes. There is silver coloured pearls decorating the butterflies’ wings. There is also pearls on the canary. Above and to the right of the bird’s foot, the word “waldfeen” is written in black print. There are silver letters on the label, which is black and silver and in the shape of a heart.

Risk

The product poses a chemical risk because it contains Hexavalent Chromium, in concentrations varying from 2.4 to 19.2 mg/kg. Given that Oeko Tex Standard 100 states that, to ensure optimum quality, total chromium content should be less than 1 mg/kg for children’s clothing and less than 2 mg/kg for all other clothing, regardless of whether it is in contact with the skin, and that Chromium VI should actually be below the detection threshold, we feel a limit of 5 mg/kg of Chromium VI is a practical threshold beyond which there is a serious risk of allergic contact dermatitis. In support of this, there are clinical studies which indicate that, for leather goods, 50% of sensitive subjects experienced contact dermatitis at this level. By analogy, and given that these articles will be in direct contact with the skin for possibly an entire working day, we believe that they pose a serious risk of allergy to consumers.
