Lead in jewellery and DMF in articles: proposals for REACH restrictions
ECHA notes that children may be exposed to lead when they suck or ingest jewellery. In general, the adverse health effects of lead are severe, especially for children, who are more vulnerable than adults to the effects lead can have on the central nervous system. To protect children, France has proposed that the use of lead and its compounds in the production of jewellery, and the placing of such articles on the EU market, should be restricted. In addition, France has proposed making permenant a temporary ban on the use of DMF in articles. It notes that DMF is used as an anti-moulding agent to protect articles during storage and transport. Consumer articles containing DMF, including furniture, clothing and shoes, can cause severe skin problems as seen in the cases concerning "toxic sofas" in the UK and other EU countries, which is resulting in costly litigation against retailers. The final opinions of the appointed committees should be made by June 2011 - then the European Commission will decide whether restrictions will enter into force in the EU and when. 2010-06-21 |
