It’s actually not news that every electronic is covered in carcingenic chemicals out of the factory. I wouldn’t dismiss the risk, knowing what I know about companies soaking furniture in carcinogens for flame retardants that don’t actually work to slow fires. Or a million other areas. In fact trusting the authorities are looking out for your welfare at this point is just laughable.
I agree that it’s important to look out for risks, but the snippet “feminisation of males” just screams right-wing hit peace. That’s not made better by the fact that most publications don’t even link the organisation or the study.
That is what endocrine disruptors do, and masculinze woman too. Men will grow breasts, testicles shrink, woman will have to shave their faces, grow body hair. It’s really gross, and horrible for you, and even small doses it affects you.
It’s not hyperbole at all, it’s not a scoop either outside of it being on these electronics, we’ve known this from day 1, and they are completely justified using stark language to get the attention of people that have until now trusted the authorities to keep them safe, and hear it’s bad for you, without realizing how it’s bad for you.
This sounds overblown. There’s no direct link to any study in the Guardian article, nor in any of the similar articles that came out today.
Searching ToxFree project got me this site, but skimming over this I couldn’t find anything with “headphones”.
Some other terms got me to ToxFree Life for all, but that’s just the petition without any research either.

So spent some more time tracking this down
The PCGamer article (released 2 hours ago) at least links the organisation behind the research.
Clicking around on their site I finally found the original piece (in hungarian) they made. Unfortunately it’s paywalled
