Reference: 2305-0078
Product: N/A
Hazard: The product presents a serious chemical risk as the plastic material from the dots on the soles of the shoes contains 22.41 ± 1.36% DEHP. The 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’s health via cancer or non-cancer effects.
Corrective Action: The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
