EU RoHS & EU POPs Enforcement Actions for Q2-2022

6 products removed from market due to EU RoHS and EU POPs violations

eu-rohsIn 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 EU RoHS Directive and/or the EU Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Regulation.

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

led-lightDescription:

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.

Regulation Violation(s):

RoHS 2 Directive

POPs Regulation

Alert Number/Link:

A12/00788/22


Battery Operated Car Track

car-toyDescription:

The solder contains an excessive amount of lead (measured value up to 73.5% by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment.

RoHS 2 Directive

Alert Number/Link:

A12/00802/22


Battery Operated Toy Train

toy-trainDescription:

The solder contains an excessive amount of lead (measured value up to 85.9% by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment.
