On 4 April 2019, the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging and Risks (SCHEER) organised a hearing in Brussels on the Preliminary Guidelines on the benefit-risk assessment of the presence of phthalates in certain medical devices covering phthalates, which are carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic to reproduction (CMR) or have endocrine-disrupting (ED) properties.
