- Brown leather shoes, intended for men.
- Risk
- The product contains excessive amounts of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (measured values up to 6.58% and 2.22% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may pose a risk to human health and the environment. In addition, the product contains excessive amounts of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs). SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bio-accumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. Moreover, the product has an excessive concentration of lead (measured value: 1.28% by weight). Lead is harmful to human health, accumulates in the body and may affect breast-fed or unborn children. Additionally, the product contains nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) (measured value: 266 mg/kg by weight). NPEs are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that break down into nonylphenol, which can cause serious health effects, including reproductive harm, developmental abnormalities and potential cancer risks. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation nor with the POP Regulation.
