83%of pads containother heavy metals includingcadmium, mercury and lead inexcess of EuropeanStandards

100%of pads containPhthalate plasticizers, in most cases DEHP (DOP)which is subject to apermanent ban under the CPSIA guidelines incertain products

92%of pads eitherdelaminate or leak wellbefore 150 laundry cycles
