Product Recalls Due to EU RoHS, EU REACH, and EU POP Violations
4 products removed from European market due to EU RoHS, EU REACH, and EU POP violations
In the fourth quarter of 2022, importers of four products were ordered to recall their products from the European market for failure to comply with the EU RoHS Directive, the EU REACH Regulation, and the EU POP Regulation.
The recalled products include an antenna power supply, a handheld toy vacuum, a PCI card, and an air humidifier.
The EU Safety Gate published the following alerts due to the violations, which are resulting in environmental risk:
Antenna Power Supply
Beschreibung:
The solder has an excessive concentration of lead (Pb) (measured value up to 61.4%). Lead poses a risk to the environment.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS 2 Directive).
Verstöße gegen Vorschriften:
EU RoHS 2 Directive
Meldungsnummer/Link:
Handheld Toy Vacuum (Electric Insect Trap)
Beschreibung:
The solder has an excessive concentration of lead (Pb) (measured value up to 38.08%). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The plastic wire cape of the toy contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) (measured values up to 2.30%, 2.18% and 2.44% by weight respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to their reproductive system. The product also contains short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value 4%). SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bioaccumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment.
The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation nor with the Regulation on persistent organic pollutants (POP Regulation).

Air Humidifier
Beschreibung:
The solder has an excessive concentration of lead (measured value up to 32.11%). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The plastic wire cape contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (measured values up to 3.76%, 1.69% and 0.11% by weight respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to their reproductive system. The product also contains short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value by weight 0.88 %). SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bioaccumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS 2 Directive), the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Regulation nor with the REACH Regulation.
