EU RoHS & EU POPs Enforcement Actions for Q2-2022
6 products removed from market due to EU RoHS and EU POPs violations
In the second quarter of 2022, importers of six products were ordered to recall their products from the European market for failure to comply with the Directive RoHS de l'UE and/or the Règlement de l'UE relatif aux polluants organiques persistants (POP).
The recalled products include two power supply modules, two battery operated children’s toys, an LED light, and an antenna amplifier.
The EU Safety Gate published the following alerts due to the violations, which are resulting in chemical and environmental risk:
LED Light
Description:
The solder contains an excessive concentration of lead (measured value: up to 10.66 % by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The plastic cord contains SCCPs (measured value: at least 0.43 % by weight). 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 plastic cord also contains an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (measured value: 1.8 % by weight). DEHP may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system.
