##  [EU RAPEX Issues Recall for Tool Set Due to Harmful Chemical Content](/gpsr-industry-news/eu-rapex-issues-recall-for-tool-set-due-to-harmful-chemical-content) 

September 19, 2024

On September 19, 2024, the EU rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products (RAPEX) notified a recall of "Tool Set, Työkalusarja, Verktygsset." The product is recalled because the plastic material of the handle in the wrench and the tip pliers has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 50% by weight). This phthalate may harm users' health, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. Legally, the product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.
