The glove contains di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP) and diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) (measured values: up to 15,9%, 0,12%, 2,34% and 0,67% respectively). According to the REACH Regulation the phthalates DEHP, DBP and BBP are prohibited in all toys and childcare articles, while phthalates DINP, DIDP and DNOP are prohibited in toys or childcare articles that can be placed in the mouth by children. In addition, it poses a risk for the environment because it contains short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCP) (measured value: up to 1,36%).

The pink textile material contains azo dyes releasing aromatic amine benzidine (measured value 67 mg/kg). When the product is in direct and prolonged contact with the skin, this aromatic amine may be absorbed by the skin. Aromatic amines can cause cancer, cell mutations and affect reproduction. Moreover the product poses an environmental risk because the plastic in the velcro strap contains short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCP) (measured value up to 0.180 %). The placing on the market and use of articles containing SCCPs is banned.

The transparent plastic contains di-(2-ethylhexyl) phtalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 16.8 % by weight). This phtalate may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to the reproductive system. Moreover, the transparent plastic also contains 0,73 % by weight short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs). The placing on the market and use of articles containing SCCPs is banned. 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.
