Shein Men's Criss-Cross Slide Sandals
At a glance
Summary
Shein Men's Criss-Cross Slide Sandals score 1/100. Independent lab testing by Greenpeace (2025) found phthalate plasticizers DBP and DEHP exceeding EU REACH legal limits — DBP at 4.2x the limit and DEHP at 39x the limit. Also contained PAH compounds (phenanthrene, fluorene, pyrene, chrysene) and volatile organic compounds including DMF. Phthalates are endocrine disruptors linked to impaired fertility, growth disruption, and harm to aquatic biodiversity. Products exceeding REACH limits are illegal to sell in the EU.
Contaminants 4
Source: Independent third-party laboratory testing
Phthalate: DBP 4.2× EU limit High
Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. Dibutyl phthalate detected at 4.2 times the EU REACH regulatory limit. Endocrine disruptor linked to impaired fertility and child development.
Independent third-party testing.
Phthalate: DEHP 39× EU limit High
Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate at 39 times the legal limit. Toxic to reproductive system and aquatic organisms with long-term biodiversity impacts.
Independent third-party testing.
PAH Compounds Detected Moderate
Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dimethylformamide detected. PAHs are carcinogenic; DMF can harm unborn children and irritate skin and respiratory tract.
