The European Chemicals Agency's Risk Assessment and Socio-Economic Analysis Committee has received a report from France proposing restrictions on the use of lead and fumaric acid in certain products, including jewelry, furniture, and footwear, which are intended for production or distribution within the European market. The report specifically addresses the limitation of dimethyl ester content as part of the broader regulatory review.
Regarding lead, the French submission—referred to as Annex XV—has suggested imposing stricter limits on the presence of lead and its compounds in jewelry, aligning with the EU’s REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. This proposed restriction would prohibit the manufacture and sale of all types of jewelry—both precious and fashion-oriented, as well as adult and children's jewelry—if the migration rate of lead exceeds 0.09 micrograms per square centimeter per hour.
French authorities have expressed significant concern over the potential health risks associated with lead exposure, particularly for children. They highlight that when children chew or swallow jewelry, they may be exposed to dangerous levels of lead, which can cause severe damage to the central nervous system, leading to long-term developmental and cognitive impairments.
This move reflects a growing effort by the EU to enhance consumer safety, especially for vulnerable groups like children, by tightening controls on hazardous substances in everyday products. The proposal is currently under review, and further discussions are expected before any final decision is made.
