The European and Swedish Chemicals Agencies, respectively ECHA and KEMI, have recently inspected hundreds of articles. Interestingly, ECHA has reported restricted phthalates in 20% of inspected toys and asbestos fibres in 14% of products. On its end, KEMI has found non-compliant electrical and electronic products. The main causes are high levels of lead in soldering and short-chain chlorinated paraffins in soft plastics.
