Directive RoHS de l'UE

Electronic Device Removed from Market Due to EU RoHS & EU POPs Violation
EU RoHS and EU POPs Violation For Electronic Device
A Melissa brand countertop popcorn maker has been removed from the European market for failure to comply with the EU RoHS Directive and the Règlement de l'UE sur les polluants organiques persistants (POP).
The European Commission ordered the enforcement action to remove the product from the EU market after an alert was submitted by Sweden. The product was manufactured in China and imported into the EU by Adexi.
Per the enforcement action notice, the plastic "feet" on the popcorn maker contain an excessive amount of lead (measured value up to 0.17-0.2% by weight), and the cable insulation contains an excessive amount of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured value up to 0.562-0.580% by weight), thereby putting the product in violation of the EU RoHS Directive and the EU POPs Regulation.
As a result of the violation, the manufacturer and EU distributors were forced to withdraw the product from the market.
A notice of the enforcement action can be found here.
