The solder in the product has an excessive concentration of lead (measured value: up to 65% by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment.

These phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to their reproductive systems.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.
