Hazard · 8,926 alerts
A consumer product contains a chemical substance that is banned or restricted in the EU — for example phthalates in toys, lead or cadmium in jewellery, nickel, formaldehyde, or prohibited substances in cosmetics.
Depending on the substance, exposure can harm health through skin contact, inhalation or swallowing — some substances affect fertility or hormones, others cause allergic reactions.
Stop using the product and keep it away from children. Return it to the seller or follow the instructions in the alert.
