Plastic Bag
Recall Summary A transparent plastic toiletry bag with a black zipper sold in Sweden is being recalled because the plastic contains unsafe levels of two chemicals: DEHP and short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs). DEHP can damage the reproductive system, while SCCPs can cause cancer through skin exposure and persist in the environment where they harm aquatic life and accumulate in humans. The product fails to meet EU safety regulations for chemical content.
