Shein Women's Leopard Platform Beach Slides
Summary
Shein Women's Leopard Platform Beach Slides score 1/100. Independent lab testing by Greenpeace (2025) found lead at 2.8x, phthalates DBP at 19x, DEHP at 33x, and DINP at 1.4x EU REACH legal limits. Also detected antimony, 14 PAH compounds, and VOCs. The most contaminated shoe in the study — exceeding limits across 4 separate chemicals. Lead is particularly harmful to children's brain development. A dangerous cocktail of heavy metals, plasticizers, and carcinogens.

Contaminants 4
Source: Independent third-party laboratory testing
Lead 2.8x 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. Lead at 2.8 times REACH limit. Extremely harmful — impairs brain development, lowers IQ, damages nervous system, kidneys, and reproductive organs.
Independent third-party testing.
Phthalate: DBP & DEHP (33x EU limit) 19x High
Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. Two phthalates massively exceed limits. DBP and DEHP are endocrine disruptors that impair fertility, growth, and child development.
Independent third-party testing.
Phthalate: DINP 1.4x 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. Third phthalate exceeding REACH threshold. Suspected endocrine disruptor adding to cumulative plasticizer exposure.
Independent third-party testing.
PAH Compounds & Antimony 14 types High
Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. 14 PAHs including benzo(a)pyrene — carcinogenic DNA-damaging compounds. Antimony can irritate skin, eyes, and damage respiratory system.
Independent third-party testing.
