VW informed KBA last month that the part contained 0.008 grams of cadmium per device.

The KBA is reportedly pushing for the recall, but the German automaker says it wouldn’t affect the health of passengers or drivers because it is “installed in a solid housing inside the charger, which in turn is enclosed by a solid housing.”


only 8 mg Cd? I wonder how many grams of Cd are still floating around in old devices with NiCd batteries!
