The acquired cohort contains 13 official alert references published from 2008-01-04 to 2023-04-21. This page compares 8 selected, distinct product descriptions, including plastic doll, toy dinosaurs, inflatable unicorn. The other 5 records still contribute to the cohort counts but are not displayed: descriptions may repeat, lack the display inputs, or fall outside the eight-description display limit. The recorded risks raise separate evidence questions about cadmium, plasticizers. Compare the product features and dated findings below before scoping an investigation. These historical observations do not determine your product’s compliance or a market failure rate.

Report published 2016-12-02 · notifying country Finland · reported origin People's Republic of China
Reported product description
Princess set includes tiara, sceptre, hairpiece and a transparent plastic handbag. All items in the set are packed in a plastic handbag with turquoise handles, heart shaped gem, and silver coloured cardboard. [6]
Reported risk explanation
null The plastic material of the handbag contains cadmium (measured value: 1300 mg/kg) and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) (measured value: 0,32%). In addition, it contains di-isononylphthalate (DINP) and di-isodecylphthalate (DIDP) (measured values: 17 % and 0,36% respectively). Cadmium is harmful to human health, because it accumulates in the body and can damage organs and/or cause cancer.

Reported risk explanation
null The stickers contain di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value: 5.5% by weight). DEHP may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to the reproductive system.

According to the REACH Regulation, the phthalates DEHP, DBP and BBP are prohibited in all toys and childcare articles, while phthalates DINP, DIDP and DNOP are prohibited in toys or childcare articles that can be placed in the mouth by children.Furthermore, the amount of cadmium in the stickers is too high (measured value: 273 mg/kg). Cadmium is harmful to human health, because it accumulates in the body and can damage organs and it may cause cancer.The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.The product poses an environmental risk (chemical pollution) due to the presence of short chain chlorinated paraffin (SCCP) (measured value 0.2%).The product does not comply with the Commission Regulation on persistent organic pollutants (POP Regulation).

Source selection, exclusions and calculation method
Filter the acquired, completely parsed English weekly XML releases. Deduplicate official alert references. Group by product category and the complete set of conditional evidence-question topics supported by actual risk text. Risk-label combinations remain recorded cohort facets and do not create buyer intents. Brand, product name, model, origin, notifying country, measurement-only changes and different wording of the same questions do not create intents. Unrecognized mechanisms stay internal for enrichment. Count report years and notifying countries deterministically. Display at most eight newest descriptions with at least 40 characters after whitespace normalization, nonempty reported measures and distinct casefolded descriptions; break date ties by official identifier. All cohort records count even if their description is shorter or not displayed. This is not a representative sample. Counts concern this acquired corpus only.
One acquired version per official public alert reference. Display at most eight newest distinct product descriptions whose normalized whitespace-collapsed text contains at least 40 characters and has nonempty reported measures; ties sort by official identifier. The complete cohort includes shorter descriptions. This is an explicit display selection, not a representative sample.
8 distinct descriptions displayed; 5 cohort records not displayed. Missing fields: {'measures': 2}.
These are selected, dated enforcement observations in the acquired weekly reports, not a random market sample, market-wide failure rate, proof of current product status, or a determination about your product. Notification country is not a complete sales-market or jurisdiction-coverage field. A quoted legal/standard reference is the report’s statement, not independently verified current law or a mandatory test panel.

Turn the reported failure mechanism into a scoped investigation
Use this checklist to gather your business or product details before speaking with a specialist. The items below explain what to record and suggest useful supporting documents. You can add your own answers in the editable project brief.
Cadmium-bearing component or material evidence — what evidence do we have?
If the corresponding material/component is used in your product, identify which part and finish are in scope and obtain composition/lot evidence. Keep the report’s measured amount as a dated reported observation; ask a specialist to verify identity, use/actor conditions and current legal criteria before any conclusion.
Useful evidence: Component/finish BOM, supplier composition/lot documentation, relevant analytical results with method and detection limits, and a current applicability review.
Plasticizer identity, material and use — what evidence do we have?
Identify the actual plasticizer/substance and polymer/component, with composition and use/exposure facts. Similar abbreviations or a general “phthalates” label do not resolve exact identity or applicable conditions. Keep concentrations and legal scope questions separate.
Useful evidence: Supplier substance/CAS/EC identities, composition and material records, sampled-component results and exact use/actor context.
Can we trace the affected component, formula or design revision across our supplied products?
Compare the reported descriptions with your own identifiers and change records. Treat missing or “Unknown” source fields as unresolved; they do not establish that no action was needed.
Useful evidence: Product identifiers, revision history, supplier/batch traceability and market/operator records.
Who would own an evidence review and any resulting corrective-action decision?
Read the reported measures as historical observations. Establish your own operator roles, sector-specific rules, decision owner and communication responsibilities before adopting another case’s response.
Conditional: Product-risk evidence and operator-role review — Compare the recorded product features and failure mechanism with your product. Confirm the applicable product regime, deciding evidence, operator responsibilities and justified next steps. This does not assume that GPSR or a representative appointment applies to every alert category.
Questions for providers
Which specific product features and reported risk mechanism make these cases relevant or irrelevant to our product?
What current legal, standards or scientific sources support your proposed investigation criteria, and what cannot be concluded from these dated alerts?
Which existing evidence can answer the risk question, what additional work is justified, and who owns any resulting corrective-action decision?
