Shein Women's Flat Slip-On Sandals
At a glance
Summary
Shein Women's Flat Slip-On Sandals score 1/100. Independent lab testing by Greenpeace (2025) found phthalates DEHP at 28x and DINP at 1.5x EU REACH legal limits. Also detected 13 PAH compounds, heavy metals (cadmium and lead), and additional phthalates (DBP, DEHtP, DIP). These sandals are a cocktail of hazardous chemicals — endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and heavy metals that damage brain development, kidneys, and reproductive organs.
Contaminants 5
Source: Independent third-party laboratory testing
Phthalate: DEHP 28× 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 28 times the legal limit. Endocrine disruptor toxic to reproductive system and aquatic organisms.
Independent third-party testing.
Phthalate: DINP 1.5× 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. Diisononyl phthalate exceeds REACH threshold. Suspected endocrine disruptor with developmental toxicity.
Independent third-party testing.
Cadmium Detected Moderate
Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. Both detected. Lead impairs brain development and IQ in children; cadmium is a probable carcinogen damaging kidneys, lungs, and cardiovascular system.
Independent third-party testing.
Lead Detected Moderate
Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. Both detected. Lead impairs brain development and IQ in children; cadmium is a probable carcinogen damaging kidneys, lungs, and cardiovascular system.
Independent third-party testing.
PAH Compounds Detected - 13 compounds Moderate
Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. 13 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons detected including benzo(a)pyrene. Carcinogenic compounds that damage DNA and accumulate in the food chain.
Independent third-party testing.
