The supplier reports that the soft carry case used to store and transport this product includes a transparent plastic cardholder window stitched at the exterior of the soft carrycase, contains cadmium and may not fully meet the substance restrictions set by the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU / REACH. The cadmium is only present in the transparent cardholder window and is limited to about 0.2 mg, which is above the regulatory limit of 0.1 mg for this cardholder. This issue should have no impact on human health, as cadmium is generally absorbed in ingestion or inhalation; dermal is not regarded to be significant.
