ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

RoHS

ROHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. It is a rule that countries, like the European Union, have made for the safety of people and the environment.

When we use or make things, we sometimes use things that are dangerous, like lead, mercury, and cadmium. These things can hurt people and the wildlife that live in the environment.

ROHS makes sure that companies who make things, like toys and electronics, use safer materials that are not dangerous. This helps keep people and the environment safe.

So, the next time you play with toys or use electronics, you can feel more confident that they are made with safer materials because of ROHS.
