Product Report and Image

Hazard

皇冠体育app product presents a serious chemical risk as the suction cups contain excessive concentrations of phthalates. When tested, it was found to contain 0.2 卤 0.01% DEHP, giving a potential range of 0.19 - 0.21% DEHP. 皇冠体育app sample therefore exceeds the specified maximum limit of 0.1% by mass of the plasticised material, as the sum of the four phthalates. A young child playing with the product is exposed to the phthalates which can potentially harm a child鈥檚 health via cancer or non-cancer effects. 皇冠体育app product also does not possess the required markings and labelling.

皇冠体育app product does not meet the requirements of the REACH Regulations 2008 or the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Corrective action

皇冠体育app import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
