An official EU Safety Gate notice concerns Shoe cover. The blue plastic material and the sole of the product have an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values: up to 10.06 %, 7.76 % and 3.12 % by weight, respectively).These phthalates may harm the health by possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. The sole also contains an excessive amount of lead (up to 0.101 % Pb by weight).Lead is harmful to human health, accumulates in the body, and may affect breast-fed or unborn children. Lead can cause developmental neurotoxicity if children are exposed. The sole has an excessive concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 0.92 % SCCP by weight). 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. Prolonged exposure to them through the skin may cause cancer. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation nor with the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) Regulation. Published 2023-07-21.
