Shein Boys' Spider Superhero Costume Set
At a glance
Summary
Shein Boys' Spider Superhero Costume Set scores 1/100. Independent lab testing by Greenpeace (2025) detected heavy metal antimony (Sb), phthalate DEHP, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). DEHP is an endocrine disruptor toxic to the reproductive system — especially concerning in boys' clothing as it disrupts male hormone development. Antimony is a toxic metalloid. VOCs off-gas and are inhaled. A children's costume with multiple hazardous chemical classes is deeply concerning.
